    Lovely and sunny this morning so went for a long walk 
    The fields around by us are so dry 
    Watched a live music show this afternoon

    Spooky @GemmaJF - Reading your posts always makes me think we have a very similar approach to gardening and, yes, my choice of Easter egg this year is also a Maltesers Crunchy and is lovely!  Enjoy the wabbits! :D 🐰🐰
    I was thinking the same with your posts, quite often sit there reading them nodding in agreement. Scoffed all my wabbits while watching 'The Sting' this afternoon, still got more than half the egg left though. Very yummy with the crunchy bits in the egg.  :)

    I actually got round to sowing some seeds today, tomatoes,  snap peas in toilet rolls/Jiffy pots, mixed salad leaves in trays and l row of carrots from last year's seed packet in the veg bed, which is all I've got. Not sure if they will germinate or not. I've had to use sieved MPC as I didn't have any seed compost either. Can't get excited about seed sowing though - don't feel the joy!

    Have just finished potting up the last of 264 seedlings. Have also potted on 84 plug plants with 30 still to come.  I've now run out of pots and plant labels.  Lord knows where I will put them all, I've only got a relatively small garden.  Looks like my Bestie will be getting a delivery to her doorstep.

    Second day off in a row. My body is enjoying it, my brain wants to get out there. It's a bit damp still after the rain and very windy, so not much to get on with. Shall let the wind and occasional sun dry it off a little more, aim for an early start tomorrow.

    Heaved around some paving slabs in compost corner so I could dig out the bindweed rhizomes which I knew would be under them.  Very satisfying.  Then I suddenly got the urge to start taking out a fence which is serving no purpose since my neighbour erected a much more stylish fence alongside it.   It's wooden posts with wire mesh stapled to them.  Took me the best part of an hour to get four staples out; they are hammered in flush so you can't get anything under them to lever them out.  I shall pick OH's brains over dinner to see if we can find an easier way to do it.

    Had a day off here too. My back will thank me & the house is a wee bit cleaner. 

    Did ventilate both coldframes & removed the fleece off the dahlia pots in the greenhouse, but all re-tucked up again now. 

    Tomorrow aim to plant the potatoes, 2nd earlies, in a raised bed & 2 bags. Love the bottle in the bag idea, thxs.
