I have finished potting up the marguerites - I need about 50 for the front garden and have potted up about 70 started on the variegated Felicias which I use in my pots and baskets - 28 so far with another tray to go
Gosh Pam, no wonder your garden looks so wonderful.
Just watching the Antiques road trip from my old part of the country- Avoncroft buildings museum. Many a happy visit there over the yrs watching it evolve. Ooh, now where OH & me went to school.....
Have managed to do what I set out to finish around here. I intend to have a garden day, well part of, tomorrow, even if OH comes back first thing. W/end could be rather busy e/w I think- daughter should be collecting keys to her house tomorrow.
Sweet potato type of stew/curry for tonights' meal.J.
Pleased to see toms and peppers popping up in the electric propagator in the GH. Moved same to get a bit more light. Garden's loking very pretty, with hellebores, snowdrops, primroses and those teeny little anemones. All the tete a tetes in the dinky beds by the front door are out, and more just opening in the windowboxes with violas. The iris unguicularis has been giving me about a dozen flowers a day to cut and put on the kitchen table, and there are a few reticulata popping out around the place.
But still on a spring cleaning binge, heaved all pots of paint out from under the stairs, bloke recommends mixing ends of similar colours together together which will give me enough to paint the pantry a sort of clotted cream colour...very Farrow and Ball!
Seed potatoes now purchased. Don't feel left out now.
All this talk of sowing! Might have to do some next week. I haven't got a propagator though. Mine will be outside in the placcie greenhouse. I am not filling my windowsills and tables like I did last year!
Oh forgot to mention that I bought some seed spuds and they're chitting away in the GH as well - never grown them intentionally before, but have had a few come up from what I presume was undigested compost, thought I'd give first earlies a go.
Just off to pop bloke's V. card through his letterbox - same every year, I chop out the letters from newspapers and glue them on like you'd send a ransom note! I wonder if he will know who it's from?
Hello all. Been having a major catch-up. Loved all the bunny stuff - I remember when we had a horsey theme going a while back - that was before they were found in meat products.
Glad to hear Dean's OH and Jean's daughter doing well
Had a really busy day not seeing much of the sun so am crashing out for an hour before heading off to belly dancing.
Well, an early finish was awarded, so nipped into the plot on the way home to check all was well!
All the autumn planted Japanese onion sets, both red n white are up n on there way as is the Broad Bean (Aquadulce claudia) and both soft n hard necked garlic, so I am an "Happy Chappy"
Checked over front garden on arrival home, n in the small border the daff's are peeking through, potted tulips on there way also n the potted shrub's are all budding nicely! : )
I love this time of year! You defoe know Spring is just around the corner! : )))

All those plants Pam, put my couple of dozen or so to shame. That I s'pose is why it looks so lovely.
Thought I had posted earlier but couldn't have pressed 'submit reply' Head not very clear today

Have a good night Flo!
Yes, Dean, all getting exciting! This will be my first proper year, doing things properly (timings and so on), so am really looking forward to it!
Dean -I have a complaint-the sweet pea seeds you sent me have not come through yet-do you handle the money-back guarantee?
