Stockton on Tees, cool part cloud part sun. Daf's still closed up. Primroses still in full bloom, Pansies undecided and I do not blame them. No snow drops as yet, crocus vanished although we have swathes of them along the roadsides all still got their heads down, the herbs are OK and showing some growth they are sheltered from the wind a wall behind them and a sunny dry spot. Little glimmers of hope and I got three bags of Compost brought to me today £10 for three so not expecting too much but then I mix it.
The sun is out but it is still so cold. Now have a cold/lurgy so staying indoors and kniting and catching up with you lot. Theres always so much going on.
Lovely,warm sunny day, perfect spring weather. Planted peas and beetroot at the allotment, Lady Christl early potatoes tomorrow, then if still nice, may creosote the shed and compost bins. So much catching up to do, so I think the forums will have to go on hold until the autumn. Hope the warmer weather reaches you all ( and lasts!)
Zoomer, Aintree, are you sure you got the right day, Ladies day was Friday??
Stockton on Tees bright sunshine and WARM? windows open to let cooking smells out and fresh air in, I am in short sleeves again and as you can see I am on this machine between cooking so Gardening this afternoon.
Beautiful sunshine, cool breeze. OH hoping to get a row of potatoes in. He has covered the soil with old perspex roofing sheets, so it has warmed up. Fingers crossed.
Today bright rather than sunny. Frost again first thing & we do actually need sone rain!
Yesterday was sat out on daughter's patio, in Bolton, & now have an interesting stripe across my arm where had pushed my jumper sleeve up! was warmer out thetre than realised.
My gardening is really 'on hold' as have sciatica, still, & an 'unhappy' arm waiting on physio attention. Never mind, lots of seeds up on sills inside & dahlias shooting..... now just some rain pleeze so I can do the mulching, arm/leg permitting. J.
Yesterday the rain started about 4pm, then turned sleety , then snowy. Woke up this morning & there was 2-3" of it, but none on the roads or paths. It's been coming down ever since, but also it's melting. Temp is about 4c & in the shed it's 8c.
Debating whether to go for a walk as I've had lunch. That b****y fence is awaiting more paint but not sure I can face it! Feel a bit weary as I spent ages last night setting up new laptop but can't get the photo thingy to work so need to get older daughter to help me later! I knew they'd come in useful some day
Weather here is a bit static and we could do with a bit of rain but a bit of heat too. The rain is uaually accompanied by howling wind at this time of year though
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Dry and sunny here all weekend. Cut the back lawn for the first time and pruned the Buddleia at last. Supposed to be cold and windy next week here in Essex, so hope I haven't done any damage. Just had to get out there as I've missed gardening so much this winter!
