Oh this and that but as for the garden I couldn't do much in that frosty weather. I did bring some Penstemons into the house though, they needed watering and I was afraid to leave them in the perspex shelter in case the soil froze. They're nice and bushy so when I bring one of my propagators into the conservatory I'll be taking cuttings of them. I hope to do it this week.

Its sad really grindle It took me all of 30 mins yesterday and in the freezing cold, to find and fill pots and window boxes and plant them up. I spent ages carefully selecting the bulbs months ago and wasted hours thinking, planning and procrastinating about doing it .Note to self, again, NO MORE BULBS.

I've put a lot of bulbs in pots into a cold frame in the hope it will bring them on a bit.

It was between 0 and -1 in the greenhouse when I went down to feed the birds this morning, so as you can imagine I didn't stay outside long before I came back inside for a nice hot cup of tea to warm my fingers.
