My God! It's freezing cold, it's dark and a lacewing has just flown in the open door and landed on my laptop. :o :o What do I do??

 ;D ;D ;D

Seriously Grawc, if you have a shed, put the lacewing in there..........?

Point taken you two!! ::) ::) Anyway it's somewhere in the utility room now and the door is not only closed but locked...

And I did nothing in the garden today apart from that because I spend ages doing my lottie committee minutes, still moving furniture and (no I'm not shouting) PICKED UP MY BRAND NEW CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay......fantastic, hope it runs really well for you! ;)

Harvested some carrots, string lined and dug a small trench and lined with leaf mould ready for the carrots, but it was far too windy to sow them today but was nice and warm in the sun  8) when the wind dropped a bit.  ;D ;D ;D 

humph :(

you really want to try Edinburgh ::)

I planted the rest of the early spuds,and silver moon onions..transplanted some yucca and poppies..took the rest of the toms, chilies and peppers to the poly..went to my daughter's for lunch and spent half an hour transplanting tomato, melon and pepper seedlings at home..lovely day

which melon seeds have you planted, I have a few I am dying plant but didden't know if it was too early

i havent done anything, still suffering from cracked ribs, why cant i ever injure myself in the quiet times. :-\

especially soon its all going on

have fun

I repotted an azalea and a jasmine that I got very very cheap in Homebase today.

Sowed Red baron sets, and golden delight sets.

Gave growmore to the garlic.

Set some of my chilli leggy seedlings in toilet rolls to support them.(as seen somewhere on the forum)
:D :D

Cemented in a brick edging to my lawn too.

Gave all my beds a good going over, planted a pear at the back of one of my sheds the idea being to use the back of the shed as a wall. The batteries on my camera run down before i could take one of the back of the shed but there is one there.... honest. ;D

Radox bath running  ;D

At long last we have finished the last of the rotovating this morning, I must say so myself that the lotty looks a treat compared to what it was five weeks ago Mrs Smith painted the our new shed and we also had our first brew this morning on the on the lotty another two weeks and for us it will be all systems go with getting ourstuff in, :) 

I spent a happy couple of hours being followed around by a very fearless Blackbird as I tided up a plot opposite mine. I was hacking out bits of old air raid shelter and clearing the path so you could see it, the Blackbird helping by eating some chafer bugs I uncovered as I cut the turf back. Cut out a load of brambles, pruned some fruit bushes so you can walk down the path without being spiked, dug up some buried plastic bags and a bit of semi rotted carpet...all in all a very pleasant morning! ;D

I planted some carrots and beetroot in the cold greenhouse, and some earlu spring onions, and some summer bulbs

cleaned out the bunnies, swept out the shed, raked the path, brought some pots in to clean, lit the incinerator, lit a bonfire.

Managed to sneak out after work and put in a couple of supports... roll on BST
;D
