Finished digging up and digging over my raspberry patch, had a clear up round the shed (must tidy it inside soon), cut some old hazel poles into kindling, spent a lot of time standing and looking wondering where to start next.... so much to do but so many places where I just will not be able to step on the soil for weeks.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
Lovely sunny day here too in Bedfordshire--have been tidying up the 'resting' area & giving some shooting bulbs in pots some top soil to keep them happy; gave a veg plot a good dig after removing piles of cat dirt & have covered area with prickly branches as a last resort to deter cats from visiting. Also planted a few seeds in propagator in greenhouse just to satisfy my itching fingers!!! Strolled round garden & was amazed at how many signs there are of new growth---made my day complete!
We has sun so most of snow has gone, pots still frozen. I've aired the GH's does that count Also turned the daleks Happy that my spinach has popped back up from under the snow and looks ready to eat.
Did some planting today, some stuff sat about in pots and moved a couple of things since the ground was defrosted.
Noticed my first clutch of seeds have hatched and sowed some pink linaria. Hope they're first year flowering - need them for this year
Also had a brilliant idea for the top of the garden so tomorrow I'll be scrapping the current bed before it's even had a chance to shine and moving everything around

Planted Nerines in Pots
Painted new planter
Cut back loads of Ivy and cleared beds of old stems etc.
Cut down two medium sized conifers
I did the bird watch out there for an hour and aired my cold frame
Yesterday washed lots more pots and lids and seeds arrived
I went to Reuben shaw,s garden centre, not many folk about sooo cold. The cafe was full though!!
Well, Pammy, you can't be far from me. I always find the parking is awkward there, but they have good plants.
