Cheer up Lass ,the spring is supposed to be coming early this year ,warming starting towards the back end of this month,
I cant wait either ,for the same reasons ,i isss going stir crazy sat indoors,Fred. :-)

My greenhouse doubles up as George Rabbits winter quarters, all lined with bubble wrap, my kitchen windowsill is full.

These months till spring are miserable, my large back garden seems to turn into a squidgy mess, the path is so slippery that I venture onto it as seldom as I can. I fear a fall further aggravating my already aching arthritic joints.

As has been said 'Roll on Spring'. The bulbs my Grandson planted for me in the front garden are coming up (planted a little deep :-D), so perhaps Spring is not too far away.

Problem for me is space, last time I propagated early the flat above mine was empty and I was able to use every windowsill and even set up a workbench.

OH being a hoarder I now have no available space indoors or out so have to wait for warmer weather to get started :-(

lolly, toilet roll tubes filled...roll on spring and maybe a nice summer for a change.

That toilet roll tube idea for seeds is an excellent idea, I did it years ago and had forgotten, now I must remember to keep them out of the recycling.

North West ..Dizzi

We seem to have a mini climate all our own here, Ive known floods in my road whilst friends in Chiswick have been sitting outside with sun umbrellas up!!

It is all clear here now just wet :-(

WHERE IN LONDON ARE YOU

Ann....In London......sorry for late reply but it's your fault :-D
Started reading your thread and it's taken me half the night

surprisingly even tho it rained heavily yesterday we do have a layer of snow settled now (about an inch) and more forecast for later.

Dizzi ...Are you getting it too?

a.c. cant wait for the clocks to be altered. hate the dark nights and winter, each winter seems to be longer than last one....maybe its my age!!!!!

dizzi, i also cant wait to get in the garden. filled seed trays and pots today, they are now warming in the heated propagator in the kitchen. sowing lupins, the slugs ate them all last year....sweetpeas will be sown in the greenhouse, after soaking the seeds i plant them in toilet roll tubes. have black cherry and black russian tomato seeds to sow. not grown these before so fingers crossed...

where are you Lolly?

Thanks Joy, you spoke too soon and we are getting it now :-D

Luckily its bucketed down all day so shouldn't settle!!

Like you Dizzi would appreciate at least one dry day to get out and start pottering

we were promised snow this weekend but happy to say it never arrived :-D :-D
