It's like me Granddads bum in Notts this evening.............wet n windy!!!!

[taurus]

Brought the rendering off one side of son's house.  Dreading the damage that will greet us at the lottie.  If theres any glass in the green house I will be very surprised.  Its a windy site at the best of times. With such a mild end to last year, new we would get pay back.

Weather better today in Enfield, so time for a quick visit to the allotment.

Because of being surrounded by the sea we don't see a big frost very often, but there is a real white one out there today. Very pleased I managed to turn the allotment over this last couple of days. All the weeds I missed will be zapped, There were also loads of slugs and snails about so they have paid the price for coming out early along with any bugs and earie wigs.

Positively spring like today, bees buzzing and a lone tortoiseshell butterfly.

Here in BC Canada, we have our second non raining day for ages so everywhere we can hear the sound of lawn mowers etc for the first time this year..

I'm putting stuff like some of the annual flowers, chard, spring onions, Leeks and shallots outside to harden off now as the greenhouse is filling up with tender plants. The peppers and chillies are in middle size pots, I potted on the watermelon plants and cucumbers this afternoon so all indoor space is in use now. I'm going to do some more sowing tomorrow.....

Yesterday OH sat outside and ate our lunch in the sunshine.  He was gardening and I was, unfortunately, stuck indoors the prep work for repainting our kitchen and hall.   Today started O, same division of labour, but is now grey and damp - what I call drismal - so lunch indoors.   Best crack on so I'm done by the weekend and can get outside where I really want to be, with my plants and the veggie plot.

Good luck to anyone hardening off babies to make way for tender plants.   Lovely job all that juggling for space and anticipating tasty crops.

Lovely Sunny day yesterday until the rain came after 4ish   
Piddling it down all day today.

Heavy rain here since yesterday, a few gaps in the rain so managed to nip out and take the watering cans from under the greenhouse down spouts and water everything in the greenhouse. Watering cans empty were put back till tomorrow :) So far no damage here though.

A  fine Sunny day here today.

Beautiful day here in Yorkshire- even got hubby down to the allotment! The soil is still pretty wet in places , but got the potatoes in today. 

[Digeroo]

Really nice now.  But quite a white out first thing. 

[cambourne7]

Lovely day here we focused on getting the pond setup and it took the entire day !!

Emptied the water and connected hose for pump and then filled it 750ltrs and placed plants onto shelves.
We then painted (wood protector) the lid for the pump and we lined the underneath with some foam strips which will help with keeping water out. And we then tried to support to waterfall and seal the hole we made in the wood for the pipes to come through. Still need some more flat rocks as the bricks we have used might not put up with poor weather.

I picked up more soil and thats about the only gardening thing i have managed today :( however off tomorrow and peas soaking from saturday can be planted tomorrow :) i have gardener coming to do some of the heavy jobs in front garden tomorrow so thats another job i can tick off my list :)

A real mixture so far grey skies with showers of rain, hail or sleety - snow.
Come on spring where are you!
