I finally sowed mine at the weekend. Hope they'll be in time for Christmas dinner.

AWOL for a few days as my aunt and/or mum have taken up my time and looks like they will for the rest of the week......family health before gardening......but only just!;)

D&DD as this week is now spoken for, and MIL visit Monday till Tuesday :eek: for her birthday, so by Wednesday I'll need something fun to do. Wed/thurs/fri next week any good? If yes pick any day


I've done naff all gardening wise except keep things alive with water. Poor toms got left in the hall for 72 hours so will start again with gentle hardening off.

If you've got snips John then I should have over the next week. The ant powder seems to have worked but they've made a right mess of a few cone areas so I'm going to get hubby to redo those ones at the weekend and sow fresh seeds in them.

With lighter evenings now I'll have time to get some salad stuff sown, and spinach as I haven't done that either yet.

Off to play nursemaid to aunty as my uncle is lovely but useless!

PS; the watermelon are fine planted deeper and have really nice shaped true leaves :j

Brr sun is shining but its still chilly windwise,very annoying as the suns got some heat in it..

Annie lets say next wednesday then I'm free any of those days and I know you're busy so don't worry if we have to change it
I'll bake cake :D hope your family are ok XX



I am so chuffed this morning my lemon verbena I overwintered in the greenhouse has survived and I have sprouts!! Was starting to think I'd lost it as it's not really hardy so pleased I won't have to buy any,it's a right pain to find round here.

Garden continues to explode and I need to have a really good couple of days out there again,my windowsills I emptied of the sacrificial tomatoes are now full again with courgettes etc,my cukes are doing really well as are the peppers but no idea when it'll be warm enough for them outside!

Need to get the rest of the tomatoes out into the greenhouse so I can pot on the peppers etc there's never enough hours this time of year is there?

Just popping in say hallo, haven't done much more in the garden lately, I have pricked out my tomatoes and put them into bigger pots, my runner beans are coming on a treat (the advantage of living in Devon ) I must sort out tomorrow where they are going to go and get my compost bins emptied and put on the garden.

Had another picking of rhubarb today, yummy.
Apple tree coming into blossom and raspberries starting to come to life, even tho my other half cut everyone down last year, trying to help :mad: I did manage to rescue some but don't think we will get many.

Really lovely day here today, I was up in the midlands for the weekend staying with my son and we had lots of sleet with a bit of snow mixed in so todays sun is great.

I've got my mini polytunnel thingy out. Carrots & onions planted under it.

This weekend will see the 2nd batch of toms planted.

Have to plant some more bee encouraging flower type stuff too.

More lettuce the weekend after. Hoping to have a bit of a potter over the bank holiday.

We've had some sunshine in the daytime recently. I'm hoping that bodes well for summer/the growing...

ooh, rhubarb. That's something I want to grow.

My radishes and salad leaves are making a small appearance, which is nice.

Rhubarb's easy, and you must be close to the Rhubarb Triangle, so it should be a doddle for you.
