Sowed my tomato seeds ... Sungold and Green Zebra this year. They’re on the dining room windowsill in the heated propagator along with some Mongolian Giant sunflowers and some basil. When they’ve germinated they’ll be replaced by courgettes, cosmos and ipoemea. Ive also got some nasturtiums and aquilegia in the cooler studio ... they’ll go out into the little greenhouse as soon as I’ve cleared out the ‘stuff’ that’s found it’s way in there over the winter ... boots, birdfood and feeders, pots, balls of string, gardening gloves ... all these things have proper homes elsewhere but are squatting in the greenhouse 🙄

Another day, another wait. Forgot my book again, but this place has thoughtfully provided a museum of music. Currently sitting next to two Stradivari instruments... in heavily alarmed glass cabinets, before you get any ideas!
That sounds ouchy, Obxx . Will dancing loosen it up? Be careful.
Which Ipomoea(s) do you grow, Dove? I sowed some seeds yesterday too - including I. tricolor 'Heavenly Blue' and I. lobata. Finally got round to doing the freebie Dahlias and some rather nice Nicotiana ('Tinkerbell') that a friend gave me for my birthday too. Anyone grown them?
Thanks for all the good wishes for Bow. Yesterday was a bit of a rollercoaster of emotion!

I tend to ring the changes @LG_ (slight musical connection there? ) ... this year I'm going for Morning Glory 'Grandpa Otts' ... beautiful midnight blue with magenta-ish star-like markings. I grew it a couple of gardens ago and it was lovely.

I've got one under the bed! My late MnL was very into crafts when her boys were small and made the whole family of Wombles. Sadly, the grandchildren didn't like them and are now too old and OH refuses to get rid of them.

Goodness, it's a long time since I last saw her.
Gosh that's come on a lot since you started!
I've just been to see my new baby granddaughter and had cuddles.
