    We found some Cosse Violette climbing beans seeds - supposed to be planted in 2016, so I "planted" three of them in a glass with kitchen paper to test viability.  OH went ahead and soaked some of them overnight and planted them out in pots - we're bringing them in overnight since weather gone colder with threats of frost. But once it warms up a bit more we'll leave the pots out - don't want to coddle them.

    Anyway, all three of my test beans (planted 8th May) have grown roots today! So we're hopeful the ones in pots will be OK too.

    We were a bit naughty the other night and went 7 miles to buy some fertile Cream Legbar eggs for DW's birthday incubator. :o Apparently, it's hard to find a good strain of these birds, so we had our detective hats on for a few weeks previously, eventually turning-up an enthusiast breeder quite close by. He'd also bought the entire stock of Vorwerks from the source we used 9 years ago, so we'll be going back for some of those later. :)
    This means we may have to sort out the hen run before next winter.....but let's not count our chickens. Last time we just stuck eggs under a Silver Dorking who spent half the year being broody. Now, that's a breed rare as chickens' teeth these days, possibly because they have 'attitude.' I remember now....we sent our two really troublesome ones to Hatherleigh Market! :D
    Frost damaged tip growth on trees and shrubs here Monday night, Ted. The fleeced stuff in the poly was OK though.

    I went shopping for the first time in 7 weeks the other night, it's certainly a different experience to how shopping used to be. Funny you should say about the cheese, Ted. I've been asking DH to get some Scottish white cheddar from Aldi every week, but every week he comes back saying there wasn't any, so he buys the more expensive Cathedral City (that I know he prefers) from Tesco instead. Funny how when I went shopping, Aldi had loads of Scottish white cheddar... He must think I'm daft...  :D
    Beautiful morning here, definitely feels colder, but bright sunshine and no snow, thank goodness!!
