Just had a look at the week's weather and it looks good :D A few chilly nights but sunshine all week. Don't think I've ever been so excited about getting out in the garden.

Got a few little jobs to do, planting some blueberry bushes but mostly clearing weeds. Anyone else looking forward to this week?

*apologies if it's horrible where you are *

    YAY! Me too.I have just made a massive list of things to do in my new house garden.My first is to venture into the shed and have a look at the green house heaters,see if I can fathom them.Half of my back garden in sunshine as we speak.

    Lol, I daren't venture into the shed. If I could clamber over everything to get in, there's no way I'd get back out. I had to use a tall oil burner last week to "skillfully" bat some plant feed from the back of the shed to the front. But the shed is a man zone. I do enough in the house lol Cup of tea and a quick whizz around the house and out into the sunshine I go!

    Unfortunately,Oh is not at all practical,so any fathoming/fixing is usually my domain.

    It's beautiful here is London. I spent the morning in the garden. I wish I had realised what pleasure you get from gardening a bit earlier.

    I have been doing work in the garden for the past couple of months.

    No need to let rain put you off, there is always stuff to be done.

    Lovely here too, although it was a very chilly start. I have just spent a very pleasant hour in my greenhouse getting some seeds in, radio on, cup of tea to hand, bliss.

    Too late for me today but tomorrow is forecast as sunny and 12 degrees. I'd like to cut the grass as it's growing like a weed but not sure if it could be damaged, what do you all recommend ? Also planning to buy and plant some pansies and primroses.
