At last!
« on: February 16, 2009, 16:00 »
Not sure about the rest of the country but down here in the south its been a lovely warm day!
The garden centers have got all their seedlings and plugs in  :D
My onion seeds are up,potatoes chitting and going to go through my shoebox of seeds tonight to start planning.
I saw crows today collecting twigs for nesting and the 1st of the daffodils out in flower.
How exciting we are nearly through the dark winter with only a few broad beans and onion sets to look at.
I washed my greenhouse inside at the weekend and tydied it :D
Got my pots out from behind the shed with bulbs popping up and put them round the garden.
Sorry to go on but its so good to be almost time to start growing full on  :D :D

I'm also looking forward to getting things going, but  :( I've not been down to the plots proper for weeks, going on for months due to illness and bad weather, so I've still got quite a bit to do (but my greenhouse is now set up & ready).  Today I noticed my yellow crocuses were flowering in the hanging baskets, and there is definitely a spring feel in the air  :D

Brilliant isn't it! We have only just got our snowdrops open up here! ::)
Dug over a couple of my flower beds this weekend, and incorporated some spent compost and manure. Also, received my 'free' conference pear tree- courtesy of the local council... so dug that in, and transplanted an apple tree. feeling like spring is just around the corner now! 8) :)
