    Well true to form in FIFE spring sprung but knowing that we get snow and deep frost in April, held back
    Today minus 2c at 13:00 and hail stones :-(

    It is so frustrating, pointless bringing on the seeds I need to, as they would be too leggy before I could put them out, so again hold back, and then the season is not long enough before they mature Tomatoes, Potatoes, Spring Onions

    Minus 2 is not good Jack. Next August I want you to be planting some Land Cress, that battles on thru the winter. Been using it as salad in my sandwiches.

      One of my young dwarf rhododendrons is flowering :hapydancsmil:

      Still not planting my young Clematis out yet though, even though they are growing like mad. It's forecast to be 1C overnight tonight so I'll hold off a bit longer.

        Angelina - what is all that white stuff. We don't have things like that here. :biggrin: In fact I have been sitting sunbathing in my garden this afternoon. Though I didn't take many clothes off - don't want to frighten the Echiums.

        Talking of Echiums - is spring really coming? I can't take much more of this. :eeew: Eight feet is not high enough for ceilings.
