    Sowed Nicotiana, cosmos and liquorice. Transplanted a few seedlings of hawthorn along the boundary, I'm hoping for  a hedge sooner or later.  Any holly or hawthorn I find are going there in a line.
    You know what? I love liquorice, and I've never thought about growing it! Is it easy?
    I've got a hawthorn sapling if you want it? It's about 10 inches.
    I was weeding my mum's garden last year and it was too big to murder so I had to bring it home, lol!

    A picture of Aeounium , unfortunately the side shoots are falling down due to the weight of the leaves. Anybody any idea how to stop this ?

    The top of the wall of my daylily bed is now visible!  I can see the shapes of my raised beds under the snow.  It's making me crazy having to hurry up and wait...

    In the house, my second sowing of impatiens is doing well, and I'm beginning to see germination from the pansy sowing I did the other day.  The smaller seedlings I transplanted seem to be doing well.

    Cut back the hydrangeas but got rained off before before I finished the job which is annoying me. Also cut back an early clematis which I think died over the winter but have left the roots in case it regenerates and surprises me.

    Went out to weed a bed, got half way rained off. Came in had drink, rain stopped, and went out again finished the edge of the bed against the path ( far too wet to stand on anything) then went and tidied the strawberry plants. This left room for the runner plants I potted last autumn,  so planted them in . Surprised the strawberries in pots survived the cold winter! 🥶 Rained again, so no after lunch outside work done.🙄

    I’ve just sowed tomatoes, courgettes and sweet peas! 
    I was aiming for this weekend to make it easier to remember the sowing date (1st April) but it was sunny when I got home so I fancied doing it. 


    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    Too wet.
    I managed to get two storage benches out of my car and down into the garden but was rained off any assembly work.
