After being woken up by rain beating on the roof, the sun is now shining and promising a good day. The blossom is opening on the fruit trees. The strawberries are a mass of flower. The tame seagull has turned up to demand his breakfast. Cockerel Gwynhoedl is out in his run with his missus and the five large pullets he took under his wing last night. The buds are bursting on the trees by the river. A new-laid egg for breakfast....

It's actually not raining here for the moment. Lovely blue skies but chilly. Birds are singing and my pansys look beautiful in all their multi-coloured glory.
May stagger into the back later for a sprall on the hammock as bones do not permit any lottie work yet. Maybe in a few days when i'm more mobile.
Big Andrew says i'm walking like Quasimodo with a nasty case of hemerroids........ nice of him...innit?
Plus, went and got a price for my possible birthday tattoo....so will spend some time trying to draw a design out that I like. It's in my head, just can't draw
Where's Grockie when I need her fabulous artistic skills?
Have a wonderful day everyone

Dear Clive, know wonder you're pleased, i've never been able to grow them cropping with pound coins before. 
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Sorry, all acounted for including the pound that resides back in my pocket again...and actually they were not my tateys to give away anyway...they were only in my custody until left in a tray on the hall steps..
They are "Premiere" well chitted and 2 to a 15L pot on 25th Jan' in home made soil based compost with a bit of extra leaf mould than we usually use for other potting. At first in the newly repaired conservatory greenhouse which has electric tube heaters..and then middle of Feb' to the poorly old back greenhouse which has fan heater frost protection but which catches the morning sun quite well.
The at home version are weeks behind.
..and the pound coin is a 1984 example...which I placed in my pocket as recently as Monday morning...change from Lyndhurst Garden Centre I believe..but destined for stardom in the work lottery this week..I hope
Clive.

Well what a perfect day for working the land, nothing but peace and quite, just the birds singing and the gentle scrape of my hoe.
Just perfect.
Just perfect.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Been in the greenhouse on the lottie for the past 3 days and have had a lovely time. Been sowing all my seeds for this season and the greenhouse is now full to bursting will pots and seed trays galore.
It's been nice and quiet and have been dreaming of when I see that first little shoot popping out of the top of the compost.
Isn't life great?
