Does using what I picked last year count? I made a big batch of Raspberry jam from all the ones not eaten by hubby. Then put some in the bottom of these almond cakes

I moved my onion seedlings into the greenhouse, also the broccoli seedlings. Now I have some room in the conservatory to start sowing new crops. Watered the conservatory plants.
I guess that so many of us have been gardening, that no-one posts here. I guess I'm the first indoors this afternoon. Done the first "sweep" of weeds from the front garden. More sycamore seedlings than I had expected.
Rain's been on and off all day, so in between spells I've been pottering. Tried to split a clump of dianthus only to realise that they don't split So the bit I broke off I've managed to take a dozen or so cuttings, now I'm hoping for a good show of the highly perfumed 'Bridal Star' in a couple of months.
Been to allotment this morning planted first early potatoes 🥔 , going again tomorrow also did a potatoe sack which is in the greenhouse for the moment at home
Inside I sowed pansies and impatiens today. I've been besieged by whiteflies and they've about pushed me to my limit. Only 9 sea holly and 5 impatiens from the original sowing are still alive, and the buggers have now discovered my chili pepper seedlings. Everything is getting a thorough spritzing with water and castile soap daily. Lesson learned - no more overwintering herbs and annuals in the house, and from now on I need to sterilize any seed starting mix.
Outside my gardens are still buried under a foot of snow. Random areas are beginning to melt around the property and I can see bare ground in places. Snow tonight but not enough to get bothered by. So long as my raised beds are workable by mid-April so I can sow my snap peas, I'll be happy.
