    I had mine outside the back door of the garage right next to an electric socket for heater and propagator and a tap for watering.    All very convenient except it was the north side of the house and had a 3'6" retaining wall round two sides so lilmited light and heat so last year we moved it to the front south east corner of teh garden where it gets loads of light and is sheltered from prevailing westerlies by an 8' hedge.

    Great in summer but so far no direct electricity or water so less easy to manage.   These will come some time this summer I hope and then it'll be easier.

    Right now it's too cold for babies so I have seedlings starting to get leggy on window sills.  I just hope next week is abit warmer so they can go out.

    Back from shops - it's horrendous out there . image Wind picking up and howling through ( the back passage !! ) image but snow's stopping . Everywhere turning slushy so hopefully it'll be gone soon.

    Can't see me doing much outsisde at the weekend . All this snow 's got to go somewhere so everywhere will be like a bog but I expect some folk have had it worse so should be grateful really.

    Not a pond , Obelixx . We 're just installing a little waterfeature in the rockery as we've got a bigger one for the bumblebee border which I've planned.image

    Hot chocolate required - I'm freezing.

    I suppose we could all be good and wash pots and trays ready for when it's warm enough to sow more seeds and pot things on and lift and divide plants but right now I'm with Genie Bunny and think hot chocolate and some plant pondering is the way to go.
