Hi Spewy

Don't rush, as well as the shrubs and bushes there'll probably be plants still below soil that will appear as the year goes on.

what were the seeds Stephen? Some are more fussy and too wet is a strong possibility. I've never had great success with heated propagators. I have more success if I get them out of there as soon as they germinate, before they get rapidly growing soft leaves. They grow more slowly and stronger outside of the propagator. (This is my theory, not proven fact)

Good Morning ..... :D

No I don't Bunny. Not within the next 5 years anyway. I hate it.

Last bit of paint to put on in my decorating project. Be glad to see the back of that

MORNING FORKERS

Morning all. Snowing again and the met office have gone back on their promise of warmer by the weekend. Noticed from the bedroom window that I'd left the greenhouse door open last night. Not worried about the night air, just the early rising birds picking over the babies.

I shall have to look at my one echinacea Busy-Lizzie. My record so far is not good. I'd planted it out but on advice from the team I dug it up again and put it in the cold greenhouse. Time will tell. Maybe this time I'll have an echinacea that lives long enough to flower.

Might be right hollie. If they don't grow roots quickly they're in trouble. I've still got some night catchfly that germinated instantly when I sowed it in September. I thought it needed chilling, perhaps does if it's gone dormant but this was straight off the plant. Getting a bit crowded in the pot but I'm sure it will survive.

It was much warmer than this in March last year.

Gardening one whole year (next week)

I have been gardening for 40 years and still get excited when the first green shoots appear in my greenhouse. I am like a child that still believes in magic. It never wears off. Spring is the best time for optomists like me. I always believe this year will be my best yet.

That's so true. And this year will be the best Robert

I've got stuff germinating like mad. Lots of aquilegias. Once the weather perks up a bit I'll start pricking out and sowing the next round. I don't like to prick out when it's cold, they might rot instead of growing away. They're still tiny, they'll last ages yet.
My false sunflowers haven't shown yet. 4 crocuses appeared in their pot. I was a bit puzzled then I remembered putting them in there.
