All my seeds from DTB arrived today. Just waiting for a couple more from a different supplier. I doubt I will be sowing any until next month but good to be ready. Got my trailer booked in for repair next week so I can then go to nursery for compost and growbags.

This is good news sweetpea. You must be feeling much better. Yes Jen, not100% by any means but at least I am able to eat again and hopefully put some weight back on. I need to be fit enough to drive Maureen to Bridgend for cataract operation which is about 60 miles away. Never a dull moment

Congratulations sweetpea. That is a lovely pic of you and your beautiful new granddaughter, Sienna. Sorry to learn that you have been ill. I hope you will be gardening in the spring. So do I but still not up to driving yet so mainly planning as ever but making progress a little. Doubt I'll be doing sweetpeas but dahlias later

I'm thinking of growing some dahlias for next season. Not for show but just to fill a space in the garden. probably wait until the shops have tubers for sale and then set them up in g'house.

Just happened to go to Wilkos for something else and ended up with more bags of daffodil bulbs and hyacinths. Bit of a mixture. Too wet for planting today but will get them in as soon as.

Cheers grindle quite a comprehensive answer that. I suppose it will depend on how severe a winter we get how many will survive.

Sort an area for that most essential item.......a compost bin which will come into its own once you get the plot under way.

Can somebody explain why my wildlife pond is still full of tadpoles? Even when clearing out old dead leaves from bottom of pond the net is full of tadpoles. I thought they would have turned into little frogs by now.
