I actually started planting today!  YAHOO!  Onions, shallots, Amercian Land Cress, chives and red onions.  Feels sooooo good to be actually planting something good instead of taking out weeds. :happy:

Made 4 beds and planted my onion sets.  Inside have now sown toms, leeks, cabbage, romanesco, sprouting broccoli and broad beans.  Today plan to start off some lettuces in the greenhouse.

Planted sunflowers and beetroot in the poly, tidied the inside perpetual strawberries and gave them a watering. Then had a cup of coffee. :lol:

potted on my big beefy tomatoes and baby pearls tomatoes, planted brussel sprouts seeds, all in the greenhouse.  planned my first seed planting for the lottie.  hubbie has done the potatoe bed - all very exciting.

Can't believe the clocks are going forward already - spring is catching up on all the time lost in the depths of winter.  hurray :D

Im just off there now! Im hoping to dig up a bed for carrots.. Plant the rest of my onion sets and put some polythene down on the potato patch so I can plant next week if weather allows!

Looking forward to checking my garlic.. last weekend the sprouts were just starting to show :)

skip the swimming - take half an hour on the plot - the fresh air might make a difference - does to me when nothing else works  ;)

got some spinach sown and the spuds are in (Blue Danube, Accent and Pentland Javelins)
sown a row of peas.

spent some time in the greenhouse and put some peppers and herbs into pots. Nice and warm so hopefully seeds will like it and show soon ;)
