Very Cold – its making me kinda garden crazy – I want to get my stuff out out out – especially things like my sweet peas – but as we say in the Cricket World – kid you can’t change the weather… So we start the month actually taking as much advantage as possible from sunshine and warmth that we do get and trying to pot up somethings – I think my focus is actually going to have to be these sweet peas and planting the rest of my seeds.
