    Dean I accidentally left some seedlings out of my coldframe the other night, they sulked tooimage At this rate you will be lucky to see tomatoes before November.

    Mine are still sat on the bedroom window ledge. I've got some sweet peas and nasturtiums that have been out for a few weeks, but they're not doing much!

    This news of cold weather is not encouraging me to come back home!  I will be returning with my nephew and his wife, who are coming to stay with me for a few months.  I will have to tell them to bring extra cold weather clothing.  They have been travelling around Asia since January and are finding it cold in Melbourne, so goodness knows what they will make of Sussex in May!!

    I haven't had time to catch up with all the posts yet - too busy trying to catch up with all the jobs I need to do - this weather has put me so far behind image

    I am going to make up my two large baskets for the front garden today - usually they are done at the beginning of May image

    Have a good day everyone image

  • Hi, Pam...it must be so difficult for you when you have deadlines to meet!

    I started my runner bean seed off in the greenhouse yesterday. They should be able to be sown in the open at this time of year, but the soil is just so cold; they would probably just rot in the ground. 

    Anyway, after yesterday's mixed-bag of hail, thunderstorms & heavy rain, I think we are expected to have something more moderate today. image

  • Rabbits reaching plague proportions now.  Maybe they'll eat some of the grass I couldn't cut the other day when the mower developed an oil leak + nasty noise. I don't mind them eating the grass - but it's the other stuff they do that makes me so mad.  Glad to hear that I'm not the only one who's late with the runner beans...........
