pottering......just a bit of weeding here & there, checking how things are coming on and getting excited about something growing, especially when ive gone to the plot early morning on the way towork

I love going up in the evening listening to George and Eric our resident robins, watering but the best job I love is weeding, I find it so satisfying........then a brew and a natter and looking at whats growing............

First thing in the morning - I love to go out with a mug of coffee and chat to the hens and potter around the garden. Sets up the whole day.

I love sowing seed and pricking out, Kazzi loves weeding.

I've only just got my GH built this weekend so I havn't decided yet, bit like a kid with a new toy

Another vote for pottering - that and admiring finished areas, like standing back and admiring a freshly weeded bed or a newly planted one. Oh yes and also the picking - nothing beats going back with a basket of freshly picked produce, food meters not miles...........

Here's me thinking I was the only one in the world who actually enjoyed hand weeding!

Quite partial to a brew and a natter as well. Trouble is I had to light the woodburning stove to heat my kettle today and even with the door and windows of the greenhouse propped open the heat was still unbearable inside.

Good reason to walk around the plot like Lord of the Manner with a mug of coffee nested firmly in my mitt!

I'm too tight to spend money on a new gas canister for my little gas stove!

Am I the only one whose very favourite job is harvesting and eating?

I also really enjoy the morning greenhouse check - to see who has come up in the night, who has grown a bit taller - yes, they really do grow overnight.

First thing in the morning, when I go down to the greenhouse, put the plants out which are hardening off, and see what has popped up during the night. Usually done with the first cup of tea in the day in hand.
