      • Up here in Walrus land( did you see there's one turned up in Ireland !!) we are getting decent daylight length, but the temperature swings are still too great, yesterday in my greenhouse 18 degrees, lovely, overnight, minus 1, not so lovely, I am sitting on my hands, I really cannot start yet this year.

        • First of four days off work so got a few gardening jobs to do....

          At home begin sowing tomato & aubergine seeds

          At allotment clear weeds & brambles from entrance of plot, take bags of rubbish next to shed to skip, continue to dig over and weed as I go.
          If I'm not on the Grapevine I can usually be found here!....https://www.thecomfreypatch.co.uk/

            • I need to sow some cucumber and squash seeds whi,e the propogator is still on the go.
              My tomatoes are all potted on and are in the blow away in my conservatory .

              And when your back stops aching,
              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,
              In the glory of the garden.

                            • Sowed around 75 tomato seeds yesterday. I need to pot on geraniums,marigolds,peppers & two balconi red tomato seedlings & sow sweet peas,broad beans & a lot of French marigolds. I found the Robin Hood broad beans at the garden centre last Friday so thought I’d try them,supposed to be good in containers although I’ll probably need the containers for 75 tomato plants
