Getting ready for summer

 It has been a super day today sunny and warm with a jacket!

(Porthcawl Wilderness)
Dh and I have been sowing some of the seeds, working  outside in the sunshine. We've used all 10 little covered seed trays for seeds that can be sown now, to germinate in heat. So one west facing window is full, we are delighted.
I've ordered another 10 trays, because we need them for veg. We only grow salads, beans, French and Runner, carrots and tomatoes. We have red cabbage and Sweet Heart cabbage already growing and garlic and shallots, and that's all we need. I'd bought some fertilizer to help, all on line as none available locally.  We're getting excited with the new season in the garden,  now looking very good. I've swept our patio ready for Dh to pressure wash it, as we have Dh's daughter, and husband and baby coming next month. Are you getting garden fever too and sowing and planting now?



I love sunny days in the garden, it wakes up my inner soul.

I'm enjoying looking at the sunshine but I'm not going out-there's such a sharp wind!

What a beautiful picture of your Robin. Ours look so much different than yours. Except for the red breast.

I am so envious of your weather. It is only the end of February and you are working in the garden already.

It's still cold here with snow predicted but my hubby was just saying he can't wait for it to get warmer and get out in the garden!

All the best Jan

Yez, garden fever has struck! I put a few seeds in tbe ground and have been cleaning up beds and lawn, and sowed grass and clover seed.
I live that you and DH are still so actively gardening. So many people give it up after 70, it seems.

Yes I've been sowing seeds and tidying the garden too. So nice to be outside in the fresh air

Yes, I am feeling the onset of garden fever too. March has started so well and it is good to feel some sunshine for a few hours.
