Sowed all my Ipomoea and Cobea Scandens, still lots to do!
I need 10c nights, I have no more space!!!
Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!

10c nights. What are they ? Still getting ice in the bird bath here.
No idea! Only a few degrees above zero here and doesn't look like nights are going to get above 5c before the end of this month!

I now have to make my evening meal before I bring the plants in from the greenhouse as the entire range and worktops are covered with plant trays, I've just about got enough room to make a cup of tea! Good thing I live alone!!

I was looking at pictures from last april of the garden. It was alot further ahead with that warm weather we had last yr.
seems a long winter
I have more windowsills as I've gone upstairs now

Yes, the weather was so much more gardener friendly last year, but then some got caught out with the cold nights we got in May. I'm hoping Mother Nature will give us a break and from May onwards the nights will be tender plant friendly!

Last year the frost got my runner beans.
My squashes escaped the frost because they were planted in topsoil plugs in the top of a raised bed with hot manure that was being used to boil off several wheel barrow loads of couch grass roots. The rising heat was enough to protect them.
In late March I sowed:
Nicotiana Sylvestris
Rudbeckia Solar Eclipse + Cherokee Sunset
Ipomoea Lobata (already huge!)
Marigold Naughty Marietta
Cosmos Brightness mixed
All are doing well and being put outside when it's warm and sunny. I sowed some Evening Sun sunflowers at the weekend and they're already popping up so that'll be another tray to shuffle around each day.
These overnight frosts are causing chaos, I have flowers that could do with being moved on, daren't put them in the cold frame yet as it's so cold at night.
