      Lots and lots of flower seeds shall be counting seeds instead of sheep

      The seed packets were from a company called Moles .

      My friend got all the wooden name tags painted for going in the borders.

      We also shifted a lot of plants into the cold frames.

      Over the next coming weeks we shall to see progress.

      After parking my car and walking up to the walled garden I slipped and fell right down on my right leg and arm and am now all sore and my neck.

      I am lucky never broke anything but hurt my pride:)

      I shall take my notebook on Tue to write down the seeds .

      Tue I shall be sowing herb seeds and planting garlic.

        Scotkat, that's the second time in a week that I've come across 'Moles'. I spotted a catalogue laying on a work bench at a local nursery. Think I'll check them out. :)

        I'm not sure if Scotkat would be allowed to Joolz, it's owned by the royal family so could be off limits.
