I had another tidy up in the shed. Dug over my last 2 beds. 7 of 8 dug over now. Last one still has leeks and cabbages in. They have to be going soon to make way for my spuds.... 2 hours later it started raining so I came home.

Looked gorgeous, greenscrump... (briefly ;D)
 
:P Green & Black's....

Filthy weather all today. Couldn't see the world outside the window for the rain torrenting down it.
Am considering planting the lottie with kelp.

Was going to plant broad beans in cells and wash some plantpots today, but instead I've been sucked into the wonderful world of A4A again ::)

Yesterday was wall to wall rain, so my plans for making another raised bed were put off again. Did manage to get some nice paving slabs from next doors skip, so not all a waste of time ;D

I also didn't bother going to the lottie on my day off today, still raining, so I just know the brick path I want to lay is going to be a water filled ditch at the moment... :'(

Just having a lunch break from a bit of seed sowing, but have run out of windowsills to put unheated propogators on! Will have to do a bit of juggling.... ;)

Spent yesterday morning over the lottie, got my early spuds in before the rain really come down. The rain then forced me down the pub, watched spurs win again, had loads of ciders, couldn't get home because of the rain so had to stay for a few more, ended up irish dancing, don't know where that come from. ;D ;D ;D

The weather here has been so lousy (at least when I've had time to do anything) that I haven't been to my lotties since early January, except to bring home some produce. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.. Where's all this global warming? ;) All I get is wind and rain and hail etc. :(

Deb P,

Don't know what depth your windowsills are, but this might help:
