Essex is tropical!  Todays planting, another 3 rows of spuds, 3 different varities of peas, row red spring onions (thanks Di  :-*), row of looseleaf lettuce 'flame' (thanks Tim  :-*).  This afternoon I will be cutting the lawn.  God it feels good to be alive!  ;D

It's raining, windy and cold here oop t'north  >:(  I've been out stretching me back (ouch) as I'm getting really down moping about not doing things.  I went to the shops and came back with some lovely recyclable's.  See pics in recyclables bit (not sure where it is)

Glad to hear it's balmy weather elsewhere  ;D

Beautiful weather in Brussels too (for a change), but alas stuck at work as well  :'( :'(
Counting down the minutes to get back home and do some sowing before it gets too dark. Fingers crossed that the weekend stays like this... 8)

Here in N. Yorks it's GREY. But warmish. 3 pre-school kids too contend with so no sowing fun for me.

Although I did notice yhis morning that my sweet corn is germinating so I'm not sulking (too much)...
I travelled to a mystical time zone
but I missed my bed
so I soon came home

Wet, windy and miserable as sin here in North Wales... you know the kind of rain...lazy ...wont go around you, goes right through you.   :(  Where is this heatwave we are supposed to be having.  Suppose it stopped at the Watford Gap as usual.   Roll on spring.   :-\
Take time to stop and smell the flowers.

Balmy weather, it was 0°C (32°F) in the night of Monday and 9.6°C (49°C) in the night of Tuesday and at the moment it is 12°C (54°C) and been raining, so I decided to go buy some compost sand and grit in readiness for the weekend heatwave 8)

It's been snowing all last night and all day here in Sweden. I have cleared the drive once today but it's getting heavier - the flakes are the size of tennis balls!
I was back home in England last week and now am really longing after Springtime.

Glad I cut the grass, it has just started to rain, but is still warm and balmy.  Hope it is dry tomorrow, back up to the allotment to get some more spuds in!

Have got sunburnt in sunny Essex. Spent the day from 9.00am - 4.30pm rotivating 2 of our three allotments. Some areas have permanent crops in and there are some broad beans and purple sprouting in another part of the allotments.
I'm sure I will ache tomorrow . Due to do some sowing parsnips, peas and potatoes if I can manage it. 19oC in London today which is approximately 30 Miles from here. 8)
