What kinda compost is that Hazel. Looks reminiscent of a box of kindling?

Good when the seedlings appear innit

New Horizon MPC, AP - I don't believe in spoiling 'em!

Actually, it's not as rough as it looks - bear in mind I took the pic on macro from approx 2" - the seedlings are literally pinhead size.

Spent £2.50 on raspberries today (for a birthday cake), what makes me happy is that from this year I shall be growing my own raspberries

And as I cannot physically follow a recipe, it'll have some whipped cream piped into the middle as well as the compote!

Don't know whether the other Water companies are doing something similar to mark Water Saving week? Maybe worth a look at yours!

It appears I'm being taken out for lunch today, how lovely, been a bit housebound lately, and husband was away last weekend.

And it's a beautiful sunny day, and my tomato seedlings are at last peeping up, apart from the Smurfs, but they still have time.

So feeling good here in Kent.

It's the Easter hols in college, so I should be off having long lie ins - nope. I'm volunteering down at the college gardens (along with a few others). Yesterday we managed to clear another herbaceous bed, the sun was shining and the buzzards were well buzzing overhead. Didn't see the peregrine (saw him last week). Got talking about our waistlines! We all work really hard but do we lose any weight? NO! We do eat a truly shocking volume of cake but we don't think that's the problem as it is calorie free cake. Yesterday it was chocolate cake with white choccy buttons
