Two crocuses in blossom this morning.
Spring is definitely on the way.

[Nicos]

Primroses!

I have convinced myself (and my husband) that after taking a car boot of rubbish from the allotment to the skip a little detour via a large local garden centre is in order.
Just for ideas of course! I don't actually need anything.

A day off work... no chores to do and the sun is shining. You will find me in my GH filling my seed trays and pots ready for sowing, filling the bird feeders, admiring the hellebores. Thinking lunch in the garden centre cafe and a wander around

I don't "need" anything either Greenish but the temptation may be too much

When something you have been really dreading goes far better than expected.

My daughter got me a membership to Batsford arboretum for myself and a friend for Christmas, so I am taking my wife there this afternoon to do a bit of tree hugging, it also has a garden centre attached so will take some pocket money.

I’ve ordered seeds.


And not all of them chilli

[Snoop Puss]

I'm about to start planning my veg patch for real. No sowing, though, and (probably) don't need to buy seeds.

Watching big fat snowflakes falling while snuggled up nice and warm knowing that I don't have to go out unless I want to.

[muck lover]

Bought a Poundland pack of two loose rooted hostas on impulse.
When potting them up were FOUR small plants. I’m ridiculously pleased.

[miffy]

Getting an allotment after much too long a break.
Teaching nearly broke me, it ate up all my time and meant I had no time left for what I enjoyed including my plot.
Moved to a new site and now have a new half plot to cultivate and call my own.
Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
Though I must admit feel rather rusty re what and how to grow things.

[Chestnut]

My fridge-freezer is working again ;-)

[Vegi potager]

After, quite frankly, a very c..p day I am now home and checked the propagator. I have Signs Of Life! It has even taken the chili seeds only 7-12 days to germinate

I am smiling now, just hope that I haven't peaked too soon

[Nicos]

Lovely to see miffy back with us again! * waves...
