Afties all - been busy outside as we seem to have got spring - for a day anyway
Almost double figures and sun - I even had a bite of lunch outside. Tempting to think I could have got a hill, but it was all fog and mist forecast pretty much everywhere until afternoon, so time was better spent here instead.
Been making the cold frame. Sigh ...more trouble than it's worth. I'd got a couple of windows from a work colleague, but the r***y things are so heavy and cumbersome, I'd have been better building the frame, buying some polycarbonate and putting that in another frame to make the lid. Gift horses and all that...
And the screwdriver ran out of power of course...double
The goldies were lovely Dove. Fortunately, the window cleaners came on Friday
Hope chicky has escaped the showers!

It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Oh, I forgot to mention...... The guy who runs the little nursery along the road from Waitrose, came in today and asked me if I wanted some hemerocallis. He's having a clear out , doesn't want anything for them , just someone who will give them a home and can he have the pots back.
We'd better not get carried away with the weather Joyce...we might kid ourselves that winter's over....
Lovely to see a nice day though. Birds were all singing their little heads off, and even the nuthatches were in and out at the feeder and not bothered by all my noisy drilling and sawing... and effing and blinding...
not to mention the singing!

Didn't quite dodge the showers Fairy, but we have good waterproofs ☔️?☔️. Persevere with that coldframe, they are sooooo useful
Glad to hear the sun is shining north of the border
All my first batch of seeds have germinated and been moved to the next propagator, so now I have room to start some more ....a task for one evening this week

Taking the van down in the morning.

Lovely here too Fairy
Some clematis and hydrangeas pruned and pots of heuchera tidied up.
Where are they going Hosta?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
no idea as yet Dove, I'll take them and then think about it.
H. Bonanza forms the bulk of them . Would you like me to keep you one? and one for Wonky?
Oooh I think I could find a home for one please and thank you
Don't think Wonky will tho, cos they're toxic to cats.
