            Unlikely to be doing much gardening for the next few days as everywhere is frozen and likely to be covered in snow.

            • I am thinking that my husband and I need to buy new instruments. He says that work in the yard and in the garage requires a drill and an electric saw. He has a birthday soon and I decided to order him something from the tools from this review https://homemakerguide.com/ridgid-vs-milwaukee/. For me, this is a new step in preparing for the spring season. Do you think it's worth taking something that is recommended in the review? Or can you share your experience, what devices do you use? I want to prepare my husband for spring in full!

                      • Yesterday I planted some Lillies, Lilly of the valley, Alstromeria and 3 pots of Freesias.

                        Good day today I managed to sow the following
                        Crimson flowered Broad Bean
                        Dwarf French beans Gold
                        Dwarf French beans Green
                        Red Baron Onion
                        - multi sown for spring onions thinings then the remainder left to grow out
                        2 lots of Asparagus (Connors Colossal and Mary Washington)
                        and some Begonia Sutherlandii not grow for years

                        The plan for tomorrow is to test the electric to the greenhouse and see if the heated bench still works then sow
                        Peas Douce Provence
                        Potatoes Winston. Charlotte and Jazzy ( for a trial)
                        Carrot Paris Market or some Nantes - I usually grow Amsterdam Forcing but I thought I'd have a change
                        Might sow my tomatoes as well. Sungold, Moneymaker and Black Russian

                        so that should keep me busy.
                        and continue to tidy the greenhouses up and then Sunday a bonfire on the lotty ! All these sowings will be grown in tubs this year while I get the allotment sorted and the back garden sorted.

                        Never be afraid to try something new.
                        Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
