Sunny and warm (out of the wind). Cleared a bed on the side of house border, tidied up lots of straggly pots, checked for slugs (ugh), mulched hellebores. Notably each day, the sun is rising higher, clearing the the house roof . The back lawn has dried out over the last two days so cut edges.
I've had wall to wall sunshine and a tropical 5.5c but still that bitter cold Easterly, the weather men are telling me that this cold weather could last till the end of April, that will definitely put paid to the plantlet's in the GH's
Woke up to a snow covered car this morning, well not litrally. like I don't park the car in the bedroom or sleep on the pavement but there was a layering of snow on the ground outside.
Chilly and cold out but tropical in the office, this should really be on the rant thread but what is it with people who turn up the heating to full even though there's a thermostat which keeps the heating at a more comfortable level. One day someone had put the electric heater on full and left it on when they left the office. It was like stepping off a plane into the Sahara that day when you walked into the office.
The lawn got it's first cut and seedlings spent the day in the GH getting heat from the suns rays. By about teatime the sky had clouded over and it's gone very cold again this evening.
Lovely sunny warm day in Chilterns, greenhouse hot and I left the door open for a few hours! Seedlings and plants inside looking very good, and daffodils and crocuses in garden all perked up - the garden looked totally springlike at last!
Yesterday glorious sunshine from dawn to dusk with a bitter cold wind. Stockton today lovely sunshine again that bitter wind, the lawn is not growing yet so still hanging back on seed sowing, no point if they have to stop in pots for weeks.
Another sunny day although there was a chill in the air.
Didn't get out in the garden apart from putting peas in the GH for the day and then bringing them indoors at tea time. Most of my daffs are now out, some for a few weeks.
The garden seems to be coming alive, All the bulbs planted out last Autumn are putting out lots of leaves, some are budding and some perennials are beginning to grow. Bellis are in flower along with primula's.

Bl..dy cold. What more can I say. Done nothing except keep turning the heating up a notch.
