Aaw Jean - take it easy and keep warm - and enjoy the Judge (have always like him).

Gary - with or without the braces????

Afties all - all seem to be having a good Saturday.

Becks not sure what they are but I've got some the same  - they could be bluebells or hyacinths (that's what I planted and I never remember where I put things and like to have a surprise).  No sun here today but at least it's been dry and OH made a temporary repair on broken fence panel until he gets round to replacing it (could be a long wait .....).   Have cleared out an overcrowded flower bed as I want to put some courgettes there this year.  This may sound like a mad question but which way up do you plant the seeds or do you lay them flat or on their side or does it make no difference? .  Will probably sow them indoors in pots first.

Ah BJay - chuckling baby  .  My neice just emailed me some pics of her girls (2 and 10) which I've been oohing and aahing over.

Nice cake Bunny

Are you dressed up in your best greenhouse attire today Gary?  You looked very smart last time we saw you in there

Harlow Carr looks stunning.  Love that sort of planting.

February in Your Garden

I think in general us gardeners are an optimistic bunch .  It was so good to be outside in the sunshine today and seeing shoots appearing.  I can never remember where I plant things and it's always a lovely surprise to see what pops up.

Deano - gardening just sort of crept up on me and once I started I couldn't stop.  I think one of the reasons is because I really like being outdoors and love wildlife so like to garden with "little friends" in mind.  I can do so much more now I've finished work

The Potting Shed.

When son was little we had those latex moulds to make gnomes with cement.  He loved them and used to paint them in very garish colours!  They have long passed their best so now I have some stone owls, 2 cherubs, 2 japanese lanterns and a rubber snake at top of drive.  Snake was supposed to scare cats away but seems to work better on people .  Terrified a "cold caller" not so long ago - great big bloke who screamed like a baby

Just had a nice soak in a hot bath to relieve aching back after a good few hours gardening - need to get used to all this bending malarky again .  Now having a medicinal tincture .

Poor Becks  hope a good night's sleep (if possible) will do the trick.

Not sure if this site may help you Glyn - they are pretty good for most things.

Yo Deano!  Happy Weekend everyone   Hope the weather stays like this while OH is around to move some bags of compost and pots and other jobs I've got lined up for him.  May even sow some seeds .   Hope you're all in full gardening swing too (and Figrat's lurgy goes quickly).
