Merry Midwinter everyone.

I love the thought of all this planting by the moon etc.

I've only ever grown a few toms and runners 'til now. The forthcoming year is the biggy for me - sink or swim!

I dabbled a bit this year with carrots leeks and parsnips, but miles to go, and loads to learn.

Cant wait

If you want to join in the Moon Gardening trial Glutton, then get your stuff ready and watch out for Zazens post on the 27th. You've nothing to loose but a few tomato seeds.

Hmmmm sounds good. Being organised is not one of my strong points, but I'll do my best.

Many thanks.

Well I missed this yesterday because we were shelubrating, but we had a good old fire in the brazier and sampled a couple of bottles of the Christmas wine, just to make sure it was OK......a terrible job, but somebody's got to do it. It was so mild though that the fire wasn't really necessary for warmth and we just sat in the patio chairs and watched the flames. I was caught on the hop a little because for some reason I'd managed to convince myself that the 21st was today so hadn't prepared anything until my friends turned up, we managed to have some food though with their barbie offerings and a packet of ancient sausages I found in the bottom of the freezer.
