Good morning everyone No frost here but a tad chilly and the sky looks a funny colour. Hope that doesn't mean snow.
Had a visit from daughter last night night. She 's over the nasty virus and has been decorating so no worries there.
My new trellis panels are arriving today so hoping weather will be ok at weekend so OH can fit them and then I can start sorting out border. Decided to dig out one of the honeysuckles which is years old and replace it and then gradually work on the plan which I've drawn up for the rest of the bumble bee border.
Mystical orange balls. Weather check for weekend please.
Becks - like the name change Maybe I'm a bit mystical myself - you'll know why when you receive your package.
Cold here but no evidence of frost. Indoor jobs today - there's some skirting board that has been waiting ages to be painted. Can't go anywhere, waiting for the rat man who will be here between 9 and 12.30. I'm dressed already in case he turns up here first.
Jean, housework though always good when it's newly done.
Sue - lovely news for you
Becks, like the name - nothing to do with Dallas then? I think there was a Miss somebody in that.
Just re read jean.... 'Good to head' ... Think I should return to bed
Flo oh just yesterday appears I'm still on bunny planet today
Morning Flo , how's maggie today?
My book (as recommended propagators bible for 1p) has arrived. it's great , brand spanking new , such excitement .
Forkers... Could I ask do you use trays, modules or pots for your seeds ? Last year with time lacking I planted several into pots (flowers) which then were potted onto large ones. Would like to do properly but seems everyone prefers different on reading ?
I like Bunnysplanet, Bunny My maiden name was Burrows so we've always been rather bunny-themed in my family!
Maggie seems confused without any other chickens there - they used to bundle out of the house together and charge to the food, this morning she was much more hesitant and wandered about as if not sure what to do.
I usually use small pots for my seeds as I don't sow vast quantities like some others do and I find if I use seed trays the pricking out stage comes before I'm really ready for it. Not sure there really is a 'properly' it's just what suits your situation.
Bunny, I sow seeds into trays, then prick them out into small pots. I keep all the pots that I have bought in the past. I also keep clear plastic packaging trays with lids which I use as mini propagaters for seed sowing. You can keep yoghurt pots (pierce a hole in the bottoms) for potting on seedlings. I love standing in the greenhouse pricking out the little seedlings from the trays into little pots with new compost - putting the babies to bed!

Morning lovelies.
Definately colder here today as well. Haven't got anywhere to go today, so can stay in the house and stay warm!
Jean, you're package arrived yesterday. Thankyou! Check your messages.

It's the pricking out bit that's the time , relieved now that its each to their own, maybe I shall do some of each way this year see which I prefer.
I do like going in talking to my babies , however the do start off in the house. I try to tell them not to be scared of the dog sniffing at them
I think I shall nip local GC today , then tomorrow need to go to Carlisle for OH and bank so will call at b&q and large GC then
