    Forecast last night said rain overnight and today, nope woke up to a bit of frost (NOT forecast!!) then the most gorgeous day, 12c plus, sunny,warm,blue sky hardly any wind.  Took the dogs to Friston Forest, walked to the top of the first field,near The Gallops, had a picnic, then walked to the very top.  Watched a bloke with a gizmo, which chopped down some of the very crowded trees, turned the logs sideways, then them up, like a knife through butter, and stacked them, clever.

    What did we do before the interent, looked up "stuff" in books, I still do, have a very scruffy OE Dictionary, chewed by one of our dogs who, sadly was put to sleep unexpectedly 12 years ago.

    Discovering a new perennial that isn't eaten by molluscs (so far anyway) in a garden where everything is, even things they don't normally eat.

    First picking of purple sprouting broccoli today.  Absolutely scrummy... all the more so because I couldn't grow it in my last garden (shade and club root) so we hadn't eaten it for years.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    That sounds really good @Liriodendron felt myself licking my lips  :) made me think I might have another go. It takes up a bit of space and all the wildlife in my garden seem to love it as well but it is lovely fresh.

    My RTBC I am rapidly running out of space for all my seedlings, joy.

    I know celandines can be a pain but they look awful pretty dotted amongst the pulmonaria and primroses.
