Morning everyone, very disrupted night last night. Had to resort to some ibuprofen, I don't think it's the vaccine, but the gardening, the things we do to ourselves 😆 My volunteering hasn't restarted yet @chicky. I told them I would rather have come when the students were off, would have been a lot quieter, but apparently it was all locked up again, though staff have been in this time. I wonder what state the gardens will be this time.
Morning all, @tuikowhai34 we desperately need rain here too, Sunday looks a good day for it! We have two cherry trees, the blossom is just fading and leaves are growing fast, we usually have good crops but we will see what happens after this cold snap. Our peach tree has already had it's blossom and in full leaf now so we will see what happens to that.
Good morning. Cool and grey but dry here and no frost. The wind has swung to the south which will make it pleasant outside at last. Won't last tho, back to the north on Sunday and rain expected tho the forecast with very heavy rain has changed to dribbles.
Messing indoors for me this morning then Cave this pm. I think all the latest seeds I've sown must be called Godot!

All the types of seed sown 31/3 have green of some sort showing ... toms are doing well as are the squashes and courgettes ... the chillies are up now and the basil is just beginning to peek through. All is well on my windowsill world 🤞

I've always found it best to use fairly fresh lettuce-type seeds. I've bought fresh radicchio seeds for this year even though I have some left from last year ... however I'll try using some last year's mixed Little Gem and other cos types and see what happens.

Morning all, wish we had rain here. It is looking distinctly cloudy with some black clouds coming over, perhaps it's Hosta's rain on its way up. Had brilliant sunshine earlier when we did had our usual walk and it's warmer. Your volunteering day sounds good Chicky, I'm not sure what to do today, just pottering I think if it stays dry. OH has a knee massage booked at the physio's later so it will be interesting to find out if that helps. Enjoy your day everyone.
