to put their spade or fork, into the garden and make a start yet. We are still being subjected to -6 frosts at night, so cannot get onto the allotment. |

My oh is a great believer in the expression..... "Things will catch up even if sown 4/6 weeks late...." Seems to work too. so don't worry. |

am just about to venture into the garden to prune some rose bushes and attack a bay tree which has got way out of hand - will have to get a ladder though - managed to get an inroad into it when the snow came - the weight of the snow bent the branches down to the ground - great I thought, down with the loppers, lopped off a large branch - all the snow came off and I ended up looking literally like a snowman - if I disappear for a while I have probably fallen into the tree :-D |

Morning Julia and Margaret, sorry afternoon (how time flies). I'm worried too, especially as I shall soon be out of action for a couple of weeks, but Margaret's post is a comfort, I must say. |

We have small 'tot' plants in the conservatory (lightly heated), and also on the bedroom windowsill. We have seedlings in the conservatory and greenhouse (Unheated but the seedlings are in small heated propogators and growing slowly.) Yesterday OH decided to put the potatoes in the potato grow bag as it was very sunny and quite warm, today it is really cold again so I hope they will take a deep breath and survive. |

AnnC yes the wind is really cutting here. OH was going out in the garden after getting a lot done yesterday but shanged his mind and is watching footbell instead. The Daphne would be very acceptable :-) |

Not going to venture into the garden 'till that awful cold Easterly wind stops, the snowdrops are doing quite well without me, and the daffs are only just beginning to wake up. |

We haven't got anything in the allotment yet. The soil is still rough dug from the winter, OH hasn't even rotovated it yet because it is so wet. The only thing I have done is to tie in the Raspberry canes. |

Lupins from indoor propagator, pricked out and put into a cold greenhouse. Fingers crossed they will survive. Have lots to do in the garden, still trying to catch up from last year. Lots of things in bud, Acers still wrapped in fleece, looks like they wont be unwrapped until May. We may miss spring this year....roll on summer. :-D |
