3 trays of violas bought, two planted into pots.  1 to do but too weary now.

Runner beans cut down, roots left in the ground, the rest on the compost.  1st artichokes and sweet potatoes dug, will be cooked with chicken later  .  Bird feeders re-filled.

Some of those 'rot down' things take a while, dependant on how hot your composting system is.  Let us know how you get on?

We don't eat oranges.  Everything goes into ours except meat products, tea leaves get tipped into the camellia and heather plants ..........

We tried one of those plastic turning efforts years ago, a complete waste of time! I couldn't turn it even when empty!!!

Something is nibbling the petals on my violas, set into pots around the patio.  Could it be ear-wigs?

We saw 4 snowdrops out yesterday in a neighbour's garden and I found 4 small hellebore flower buds under some leaves - I will need to cut lots back once the weather is less dank.  It will be good to get outside

In the fall I pruned back everything to the ground to prepare for the winter. The ground is now frozen so nothing is growing. We may get a thaw on Saturday, rain and 5 degrees.

I haven't yet, over the years, not found labels that keep their lettering .......... I have a pretty shrub which flowers now, but the label has faded  . Others rip off or blow away .... I've tried writing on lolly pop sticks, doesn't last.  Fades or washes off.  Copper with a special pencil get grown over during the Summer.

Any hints would be useful :-)

I use a Sharpie pen on plastic labels like my mum used to. Not that I garden much but when I do I'm always worried I won't know what's a weed and what's not

   too wet to tackle anything out there.

Same here and it's too wet to 'get on'  .  DH is digging parsnips a couple of times a week to roast, they do well here.  Gave up with carrots.  He will set broad beans and sweet peas around end Feb/March.

Nights are pulling out  - light until 4.15 this evening

Beautiful bull finches back eating the buds on our flowering plum tree, not going to get flowers again this year 

Lots of life stirring in the pots of bulbs we have, spring is coming 

[CLKD]

I saw crocii pushing up in a pot this morning :-))).

Bullfinches - love 'em or hate em but the colours make up for the bud nipping

I would love space in which to grow heritage apples and plums.  There was a programme on TV this week, can't remember which  - probably farmers' show down - where a couple. had bought an orchard which had been planted by her Gt Gt aunt.  That is somewhere I would be happy to work for nowt as long as I had somewhere to live.

Truly scrumptious - now I've got an ear worm
