Good morning Forkers. Cool and cloudy with bits of weak sun and some late April showers here. I have some potatoes and leeks to plant out and some plants to pot up and label for tomorrow's garden group plant swap. Definitely staying at home away form all the tourists today.
Thanks for that link @tui34. I've saved it for later use cos we have all she needs at the mo apart from a jasmine and the bed to plant them all. Need to get OH working on that.
@Pat E good to have your roos back. I don't understand any govt letting the Chinese in anywhere especially where it concerns essential resources and infrastructure or communications. Don't trust them an inch.
Our forecast has changed again. It was supposed to start warming up as of Wednesday - the day after the last of those pesky Ice Saints - but that's now been postponed to Friday, maybe. I love the wet bits but hope we all get some warmth soon. Itching to get stuff planted out safely.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

I got home yesterday evening after visiting friend 50 miles away in Surrey where it was torrential,roads dry no rain here. She has just moved,is living in a building site,she works nights,"bedroom" only room apart from kitchen for her,hubby and son is a mattress on a tiny conservatory floor. Bless her,I had to go outside and identify, Gooseberry, Currant!!
Not sunny, but not raining - which is good as I am off to Wisley to meet some old pals (went to Uni with one, and flat shared in London with the other .....many, many moons ago).
Slight Spanner in the works - 15 beautiful tender climber plug plants from Sarah Raven have just landed on my doorstep - so had to do a quick bit of potting up. So now I need to go get clean again 🙄
It has stopped raining [ temporarily ], garden too soggy to do much. We are booked to go to RHS Bridgewater on Monday, for my birthday, but I think it is going to be too wet to make it enjoyable.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
