  • It's not all bad news!

    Just come back from the lottie for the first time since Xmas and was a bit worried about what we might find

    Anyway - apart from the flooded paths and asparagus........

    There was no broken glass in the greenhouse ( even after all that wind!)
    The peach tree in there has plenty of PINK buds thinking about opening
    A ladybird was sitting watching me working and a couple of honey bees came over to investigate.
    The daffodils are up by about 3"
    The hazelnut was covered in yellow catkins.
    The Timperley Early rhubarb is 6" high
    It even stopped raining for a while whilst we were working!

    Ain't life great????

      I don't dare go out into my garden - it is like walking on a muddy,soggy bath sponge! I know I have red sprouting broccoli to harvest but I am worried that I will destroy my already poor excuse for a lawn if I try to go and collec the veg!

      My rhubarb is still well and truly hibernating! Wish I could!
      Happy Gardening,

                Our first plot is now ready for things to go inAll dug over, the ground was lovely to dig with all the rain,not too back breaking apart from b****y chickweed
                Our second plot(the rough one) is sat there patiently waiting for me to rescue it from weeds and grass. Thats my next job as a majority of the potatoes are going on that one
                Lets hope we have a better year than last one
                Have fun
