Afternoon all, well that’s another hectic week over, can relax a bit now.
Sitting in the garden having a cuppa, hens chattering away too 😍
Popped to the farm shop for veg and compost and some landscape bark for my centre path in the polytunnel, hubby came along to lift these for me, he waited in the car while I went into the farm shop, very long…[Read more]-
Afters Karen, you so deserve your sit down in the garden.
And quite agree, some folk can be very selfish. 
I just hope you remember that you are one of those being applauded on a Thursday evening at 8pm, you were certainly one of those I was thinking of. 
Now crack open a 
and have a wonderful weekend honey. -
Hello Karen and Karen
It’s always the way with some people, isn’t it? Hope you have a deserving restful weekend! -
Have a lovely weekend Karen

afters one and all, better day today, sunshine though bit windy, into town (quickly) to get my bread order, everyone keeping their distance it was great – put together double compost bins – wooden ones so can finally start making our own compost, have really missed this since we moved here, it was an absolute crime to have to ditch compostable…[Read more]
-
Sounds good, and so rewarding with end product of your own compost
-
Afters Jenny, so satisfying making your own compost, I bet you did miss it.
I have the wooden ones too, they are a great job. Enjoy your evening. -
Brilliant, Jenny
And have a good and safe weekend! -
Too right Jenny … Hi
I dug some of my compost out from the bin base this afternoon to put into a potato-grow-sack … one spud planted so far. It’s all I had as I can’ t go out to buy them now Let’s hope for lots of lovely babies for me to eat in the Autumn or next Winter!

Good Morning Clickers, looks lovely from my Window, but step outside, and that Wind will cut you in half! Sorry have not been on, but Gertie rattled my Cage, so will try to do better.

Great to see you back on Tina, we were just concerned for you, honest.
It can’t be easy for you and pillocks asking stupid questions doesn’t help. 
Think I’d be giving the hoovering a massive body swerve, if I were you, good grief girl you have the perfect excuse! Take care of yourself, and stay safe. -
Hi Tina. Lovely to see you. Your seed sowing sounds very successful but you can sit down to that job. Take care and [email protected]@gar the hoovering, as Karen says. Stay in touch with us

Brilliant to hear from you, Tina and all you’ve been up to! Take care, forget the hoovering and enjoy your seeds and seedlings. Jane x

Morning clickers The sun must have got lost from Lincs on the way to NI yesterday because it certainly disappeared from here! Hope to do some seed sorting of courgettes etc but won’t sow them until the promised heatwave next week! The honesty is in flower, as is the wood anemone. The seedlings are some of my tomatoes. Have a good day,…-
Those are lovely Jane.
-
Mine is weeks behind you, but it will come.
-
Wowser.
-
Thanks, Karen
– they’re really delicate, aren’t they? -
Definitely, Karen! I was surprised to see them yesterday.
-
-
Lovely
next to primroses favourites of mine -
Way ahead of mine too
-
Oh well done Jane…do you water them much to start off? Mine are not thro’ yet.
-
Anne, I sow them in rows in a seed tray that has plenty of well-watered compost. I don’t water them again until I have potted them on in these 3″ pots. Only one has signs of a true leaf (top row, 2nd from left) and I expect the others to follow soon. These were sown March 15th and I pricked them out a couple of days ago.
-
Thanks Jane. That means mine still have time. I sowed two straight into a small pot each, but have sprayed/watered a little each day, and they are in the warm daytime and cold at night. Will tell when they sprout
-
Was the compost damp when you sowed them, Anne? If yes, don’t spray. Just let them germinate as they are. Mine were just on the floor in front of the french doors.
-
Just, and I have stopped watering them. hopefully not too late … thanks Jane. Have just put a sprouting potato in the growing bag
it germinates. Dom’s lo-carb, but I do love a potato

Good morning all, another dampish start here, not too bad though and due improve a bit.
Lots of brassica seedlings pricked out yesterday, so salad sowing outside is on the list for today. Stood at the door last night and applauded for all those doing such a wonderful job and heard our neighbour and someone else way down in the…[Read more]-
Morning, Karen :) Well done on the clapping! There are loads of people who deserve acknowledgement! Good work on the pricking out and yes, get that salad sown
Dry but cold here. Maybe sun, maybe not! Have a good one -
Quite surreal, when you hear clapping so far away and know exactly why it is being done.
We have the odd blink of sun, very odd, but welcome all the same. Your toms are looking good. -
It’s brightening minutely here. Glad you’ve got blinks as I’m loathe to share today – selfish, I know
-
Don’t blame you at all, I’ll be hanging on to any blinks I get.

Good morning Karen … It’s brightening here and a tad warmer too
I love the clapping I go into GG and clap over the fence so that my neighbours can get to the shared gate and we don’t risk infecting each other

Morning 😊
Beautiful bird song out there, have a lovely day -
Morning Karen, lovely to hear it.
-
Morning Karen
Have a good day -
Good morning Karen … yes, the birdsong starts really early,
and I wonder if the street lamp outside confuses some of them 
-
Does make you wonder about the city lights as on a night out a while ago in the city centre the gulls were hanging around the car park of a macdonalds
But did read somewhere that bird song in the city is louder than rural areas as they have to compete with the noise, aren’t they just amazing how they adapt to us humans
-
Oh yes Karen…they are. I know so little, but the more I learn about birds the more amazing they are … just like humans and bears I guess
We are all inter-dependant aren’t we Off to listen to ‘Hancock’s half hour ‘ now. Have a good evening

Good morning all. I think a blackbird is building a nest in my blackbirds nest box on trellis outside window. She was carrying nesting material yesterday. I have pulled the curtain over a bit so as not to put her off, the box has been used by robins during the past few years and first time by blackbird. I will be thrilled if she does finish her…[Read more]

Watched one of the Magpies again, just missed the other! Good job I haven’t remade my baskets yet this year!! They will have a very fragrant nest, especially if that Lobelia re-roots in it and flowers

Pretty birds, the blue really shows up.

Oh bless, can just imagine that nest

That is brilliant Anne.

Evening all, just watered the tubs in the garden, so glad I planted a lot more daffodils last autumn and also some tulips

Hello Vashte! Well done

Bravo Vashte … we just changed the beds and washed the sheets and the shopping!!!

Me too!!

Funny that some folk can only think of having to stay at home. Today is the first in 10 days I spent in the house. I seem to be doing 10-4 the garden every day. But I do miss my golf and badminton.

Yes we are missing our daily routines

I’m glad your friend now has a letter from the council. You are so right, I don’t see allotments as a hobby at the moment ,they are essential on so many levels.

Of course people must tend their plots – it’s growers who’ll be leaving veg on the shelves in due course! Stay safe!
