    Morning Mattimage.  Lighter in the mornings, and only just dark when i got home at 6.30 last night - wonderful.  My first batch of seedlings are already going on the windowsill, and will start some more off this weekend.  Feels like spring is hereimage

    Good morning all image  a glorious golden sunrise image Yes, sweet pea seedlings on the window - more will be joining them soon, and I may try an early outdoor sowing of something or other?  - I imagine that the soil's much warmer than it usually is at this time of year.  I want to get a good row of parsley in - I use so much of it, a clump in the herb garden just isn't enough. 

    Some of the best fun I've ever had was when I was a volunteer supporting teenagers with severe and complex learning disabilities at a youth club image  giving them the chance to 'hang out' with each other and be 'cool' - providing the support they needed (and chaperoning) but without cramping their style or behaving like a parent or teacher.  Exhausting work, but such fun image

    Good Morning all. Hi Matt & Chicky lovely to lighter morning and nightsimage

    8c and dull just now, but only dropped to 5C overnight, soil will be warming nicely.

    Food shopping this morning and then hopefully feeding some shrubs and top dressing pots of lilies. It won't be long before I start moaning about Lily beetles. This year I'm ready for them with my Provado ?? or whatever it's called.

    Happy Birthday to Panda's OH image

    Well done on no chocs Lily.

    Where is Dove?

    Cheers Verdun image

    Tracey hope you don't ache too much.

    Have a good one everyone.

    Thats lovely Dove. I wish I had the enthusiasm to do that. Direct Sowing does seem like a possibility at the moment.

    The ground hasnt frozen once here this Winter so I guess it would be pretty easy with this lovely weather coming.

    Hi Dove, didn't see you image

    Morning KEF image

    I don't have the energy to do it any more Mattbeer but it was fun while I did it - and anyway - teenagers don't really want silver-haired ladies hanging out with them - now if I dyed some pink stripes into it .... image
