    Take it easy @Yviestevie.  Need to be fit for lots more work yet.

    I have been out and hoed and raked a patch to plant 15 pointy cabbage plugs and have watered them in and fed and watered all the citrus and nectarines in the polytunnel too.   Was planning to do some weeding but have managed to twist the stupid knee and now can't kneel.   Pain in the proverbial!

  • Well we went to Kew gardens today,  we thought we'd go before things open up too much so we could drive.  A lot more people than last year,  but lots of space so relatively easy to avoid people.  Lots of crocus, colchicums, snowdrops and some daffodils.  A bit early in the season, lots more to come  but we (and my wife in particular) needed to get out of the house, for a day.

    antibiotics. I was a big brave boy and had a look when she's removed the previous dressing. I wish I hadn't :|

    How lovely @Allotment Boy - love a trip to Kew.  I’m looking forward to going to Wisley as soon as the stay local guidance is lifted.

    only just in from the garden myself .....the evenings are getting later and later 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.  Replacement fence post is up, so we can put the missing panels back tomorrow.  Things beginning to dry out here too, so it won’t be long before I can walk on my borders and begin the Great Clear Up.  Although its a big job, I love getting in there and finding out whats springing up 🌱

    Take it easy @Yviestevie - and great news on your vaccine appointment 😀😀😀.  Hope the knee recovers quickly @Obelixx ....not a good time for it to play up.  Keep meaning to ask about Possum - is she still planning to return to Belgium at Easter?  

    We have had Chicklet with us since Christmas- she came home for the holidays and never went back.  But now schools are going back, her work will be Bournemouth based again from the end of March.

    That’s rubbish for you @Hostafan1 ☹️

    Mid-week chicken dinner tonight, done some buttered leeks for a change - it’s nearly St David’s Day after all. 

    More frog spawn today - plus saw them cavorting about in the pond. Signs of Spring are very uplifting but more so this year.
