  • As mine are to go outside I don't sow tomatoes until mid April.  I'm hoping for great things now that the big ash tree has been pollarded ... it's due south of the veg patch which should be a lot lighter and brighter this year.

    Oh dear, they've just taken my laptop away for repair. Trying to read this on my smart phone which I don't find so easy. However the sun has now come out so I ought to do some gentle gardening.
    Glad you had a good night @Hostafan1, OH reminded me yesterday of the time I hit my leg hard with a sledgehammer, trying to hit over a concrete washing line. My brothers fell about laughing but I ended up at hospital with a suspected blood clot later. A bit scary!

    Hello everyone.  Bright and sunny here but a chill breeze blowing in off the Atlantic.  OH has been busy strimming edges while I potter indoors.  I shall need draught-proofing clobber when I head out after lunch.

    I'm waiting for night temperatures to increase a bit more before I sow my tomatoes as they'll have to go in the PT as soon as they're big enough to prick out.  I also need to erect a barrier to protect them from being hen-pecked.

    Enjoy your day, whatever you're doing.  I hope those of you who are worried about loved ones get good news.

    Hi all

    Blowy, but quite warm here. Managed an hour outside, but I think that is all I can manage.

    Very good news from the various vaccine studies.

    Cheese and tomato sandwiches at yours then @Dovefromabove

    Well done @punkdoc.  Now sit and admire for a while.  Sorry, but I really dislike cheese and tomato sandwiches, even done on proper bread with home grown tomatoes.

    You wussing @Hostafan1?  Hope it isn't too painful today tho.

    It is still very chilly out there in that breeze so I shall wuss off upstairs and sew for an hour till the sun gets round to the bed I want to tackle today.

    I know I'm a wuss, it keeps me out of a lot of bother

  • Wouldnt your lovely tree men do a bit of fence post hammering on the side @Hostafan1?  Then you could be an even bigger wuss 😉
