Well you have all been busy!

Me:- mother's tea and breakfast done, the animals sorted out, the broadbeans planted, a loaf on the go and now it's time for my morning to get started with the 4 Weekly paperwork chore.... 

You say that as if you haven't done very much, that is more than I have done all day so far 

Just got back form getting 2 grapevines a Lakemont and a Vitis Flame seedless also got 3 Bluberry bushes. I think we have more than enough fruit to be going on with now

[snowdrops]

Ha ha ha - bed-bath; my foot!

We have a new mattress and have to turn it every week or something dire happens to it, so that's my exercise done for the week..;0)

It's odd, but everything does look untidy around now, as there's so much to do all at the same time. I reckon we never really get it all looking right until July and anyway, Patches and Plots don't have to be pristine do they!

Have a good one anyway, and hopefully a tincture or three, as it is Sunday!

(Isn't it..?)

You'll have to get Mrs G to bed bath your foot

Made a Victoria sponge, baking as we type ps don't tell them on HLC I'm not supposed to be having any.

HLC have spies everywhere!! 

Ssh springy I thought you were my friend

I am, I am - just trying to keep you on the straight and narrow. 

[snowdrops]

Narrow being the operative word. Won't tell you what I'm having for pud in a minute then.

Well, I've just polished off last weeks' rhubarb crumble, and it's only Sunday evening...

[snowdrops]

Have you been spying in my kitchen Growster.

Morning all. I was determined to have a lie in this morning but chronic indigestion said otherwise. After an hour or more of discomfort gave in and got up....no sign of it now. Bah!

[Chrysalis]

I'm the early bird here, but usually just lie about hoping to get back to sleep. Last night I was well asleep when OH leapt up and squashed me! "There's a fox in the garden!" He shouts.  "It woke me up!"  Well, it didn't wake me or the dog. He ran out with the torch and says it just looked at him disdainfully and slunk off up the garden to the allotments.  It was 2 am.   

[DD.]

Hello, anyone around??

Frosty here, hope no one's planted tender stuff too soon!

[Growster...]

Yup, and we got a bit worried about the forecast last evening!

Seems OK - so far, but I'm not going down to the Patch yet...

[archibtbm]

we had a frost forecast for last night,luckily OH was at the plot yesterday so fleeced the peas and beans

[DD.]

I hope you're talking broad beans, not runner beans! Peas and broad beans would have withstood the temperatures we had last night.

[Paul Plots]

I wondered where that there frost went. I didn't think we'd get it even though the BBBeeeb tv forecast said 1⁰C for us.
Another forecast disagreed.....

.........but in came my butternut squash and courgette plantlets from the cold-frame.

Right now I'm recovering from cramp. Does coffee help? We'll see.
Morning all. 

[Springlands]

Morning Paul. If it is muscle cramp - eating a banana often helps.

[Ma Lowe]

Morning all. Not sure how cold it got here hope the seedlings I have in the greenhouse are ok. At least I have held off planting any of them out yet.
We are set for a beautiful day today so that means garden or allotment though there isn't much to do on the allotment. More seed sowing me thinks but first I have to put my greenhouse straight after emptying all the shelves and sorting through stuff  don't need. I came across an enormous spider that would have eaten me alive if I hadn't run for my life. Went back in after I had calmed down and now can't find it so I won't be going in there until I know it's safe
