Fences worse for wear here too. Storm was fierce over night. DH did a temporary repair to a fencecpost that had snapped and nailed loose panels back into place.

I did a bit of harvesting, digging and general tidying. Watered tiny rocket plants in the greenhouse. Still very windy here. One broken pane in the greenhouse fixed with gaffertape ;D inside and out.

Today was my first gardening day of the season (hoorah ;D)
Did some general tidying & deadheading although not too much tidying as I noticed lots of ladybirds nestled deep under leaves so didn't want to disturb them
Had layered my thornless blackberry bush last season, so severed and potted up 7 new plants from it (YIPPEE ;D )
Potted up my 3 raspberry canes
collected some dry seed heads I'd missed from a hanging basket
Put my seed potatoes into trays to chit
What a fab day ;D

Collected the panes and door that had blown out of my greenhouse and searched for my plastic bell cloches. Decided not to go to lottie to see if my shed roof is still on.

stared in amazement in the garden today as almost overnight there are now hundreds of snowdrops, crocuses and pushkinias out in bloom - that's what happens when you don't venture out for a day or so ;D

Digging :) I have got half an allotment left to dig. This is my favourite time of year, before the weeds wake up. Also dug up a few parsnips, I seem to have too many again.

Tried to refix tthe polycarb panes back in greenhouse. Gave up as the winds were a bit high. Was absolutely delighted with the snowdrops coming up that Ihad forgotten about.
