Awful weather - typical Brits talk

Came across this video of summer and sweet peas when I was making a question.

It's just a lovely thing to watch with the birdsong background if anyone wants reminding of what summer looks like

They are grown near me hidden away at the back of a village. Only the specials were for competition and he used to bunch up the rest in huge bunches for cheap sale to cover costs. Loved that.

Also the black ones turned up in some seeds I bought cheap last year and they are stunning when planted with other colours.

Thank you for the video twopenny, it certainly lifted my spirits.  Made me even more determined to try some sweet peas this year.
I've got a couple of packets of mixed seeds ready to go when the weather warms up.

No more sub zero temps predicted for here, back to the mild rainy weather again 🙄😕
Not sure if i'll get outside or whether lazyitis will descend on me 🤨
Either way, happy gardening folks 🙂

Dull with ice still hanging around, I may toddle round the garden just to see what's going on, nothing I suspect

I had two plant catalogues arrive yesterday, postal Spam, I had a flick through them sometime, mostly as suspected Spring planting items, plug plants, amazing this that & the other promises. all expensive & TBH nothing I fancied or needed

My Hermes package also arrived, a day early

Oh dear, hope it's not too painful and you can still work the TV remote

Oo-er missus, won't that need more than rest?   I remember reading about someone with a dislocated shoulder when I was a child and it sounded so painful I resolved not to get one! I hope yours is mended or mends itself soon.

My right shoulder is playing up, but I think it's related to the concrete mixing we did. Can't seem to get away with overdoing things so easily nowadays and chopping logs won't have helped either.

Still weighing up my options here.....

Cold and wet here, and due to be wet all week. I've had a delivery of compost, so brought some in to warm up and have started off some seeds. Ancient lettuce that if it germinates I will use for baby leaves and plenty of things that I'll move to the greenhouse once they get going and I've had a chance to give it a clearout. I'm looking forward to the weather warming up and get back into the garden properly again.

Far way and Dave, I spent most of yesterday evening and into the night at A&E. Shoulder joint put back into position, I was scared but morphine and entonox helped, now in a sling for some weeks. Ambulance crew and nurses and doctors were really kind. Husband has pointed out that neither of us is as young as we think k we are. More so me, I'm older.
