We had a bright day today but bitterly cold. The soil is still very wet here but I think I would have been very tempted to pop to my lottie if we hadn't had an appointment with the Wedding Planner at the venue for our daughters wedding. I hope if the weather can remain dry this week I can some get some lottie work in, because I am raring to go. It has been too long and I need to work off all that Christmas cake. :) busy_lizzie

Our garden is still soaking wet too - and half of it has been brought into the house on dogs feet.

Well I had a terrible morning, I went around all the local allotments with a truck full of used flowerpots, modules and seed trays. Only had a few takers, so I left a pile with a note saying help yourself. I had to take the rest to the tip as I need the truck empty in the morning. I must have dumped over 3,000 pots, but managed to give a few more away to people at the tip. I cannot use them myself as we cannot sterilise them to the correct standard and it is cheaper to buy new.
After the pleas I read on this site for cheap pots it broke my heart, but the postage would have been too much to send them.
Brightened up later when I had to pop into B&Q, they had all their clematis knocked down from £7.99 to one pound, there were five varieties there I haven't got.

Well, kitted out in multi layers so that everything tucked in to everything else and there were
no
gaps, went out into the garden and tackled the old apple tree. After a couple of hours sawing and lopping, was feeling quite toasty. Had a bonfire and got hotter ~ great day ;D

would have needed floodlights!!
We did get down to the lottie but ground far too soggy to dig - was annoyed because the few winter caulis that had been left had gone brown in places >:( did get some tidying done and repotted tubs of bulbs that had been knocked over and dug over by the foxes - bless them ::)

Yesterday managed to collect my new (to me) garden bench, which needs a little tlc but lives up to its description - tired but lovely. Was also given a large wooden planter, which will be handy for my herbs I think.
Today was able to do a couple of hours digging and tried to light a fire, but am rubbish at getting things to burn, put some firelighters in which fizzled and flared for a bit before going out. OH suggests petrol or something similar ... :-\

Spent Sunday afternoon catching up with weeding! (Broke my ankle last September and I'm way behind in the plot.) Looking at sweat pea sowing this week, paper pot making and possibly planting a few cloves of garlic. Still got the greenhouse to sort out. My plastic one at the plot is looking like a torn-up tent so that's another fine mess I'll have to get into.

You picked your moment if you caught me on the site yesterday! I organised the service at my church in the morning, then went to the plot for a couple of hours after lunch. Then I went out again and took an evening service. Then I watched telly for a couple of hours with the wife. The computer had to take a back seat.
