Lucky you. I have grown teasels to try and attract goldfinches. Took long enough and now have some very tall dead seed heads. Have I seen any goldfinches? Not a one.

Sorry maybe this wasn’t the right kind of post for a what makes you happy thread !

Happy to be eating more of our stored Charlotte potatoes. I thought we’d eaten them all but OH brought out a washing bowl full of them which he’d stored elsewhere. They are still looking good , white and firm. Quite impressed tbh!

[Nicos]

I just love checking on my newly bought Charlottes waiting for them to show signs of chitting ( I decided not to use last year’s which I grew.)

One can never check them too often eh?

[Bren In Pots]

I like to check mine to see if I've got them positioned the right way around in the egg trays. I Don't want to have any sprouts in the dark.

[Snoop Puss]

I have all the seeds I want this year.

And Mr Snoop commented this morning how useful having the veg patch has been this winter. Saved us a ton of money on buying greens, leeks and caulis. Plus, we haven't had to go out just for fresh veg.
