    Hi everyone, beautiful and sunny here, although I expect it's cold.  Cannas just arrived so will be planting them in pots and storing in the GH until weather warms up.  Have a few jobs planned in the garden for today.  Need a cuppa first though.

    Most people seem to be having a nice sunny day but there's a freezing wind here so I'm sowing seeds in the kitchen again.  Wintersong it must be someone else visiting a GC today.  I'm getting organised to go away for a week.

    Brrrrrr. it is cold out there, just in to de frost, and change my gloves.

    Why can't I finish what I start/ The plan was to cut back and weed one bed, but after a few minutes I moved on somewhere else, etc etc. The end result being, that nothing looks any better than before I started.

    Hi everyone, just sat down for a rest and then I might have the strength to make a cuppa.

    It seems we are all busy in the garden today and that spring seems to be creeping closer for most of us.

    I've planted the Canna (Durban and Shanendoah) and popped them in the cold greenhouse. 

    Also planted Illumination Pink foxgloves in planters. 

    Popped in a new Helianthus Lemon Queen and Geum Lady Stratheden

    Then I decided that I needed to move a few things as some of the beds looked a bit unbalanced (I think it's me that's unbalanced not the beds).

    So I moved a hebe, salvia, epimedium and a rock rose.

    Wouldn't mind but the plan for today was really to FBB the borders and put a few slug pellets down by a couple of vulnerable plants, may summon up the energy after a cuppa.
