DS slept for hour am and pm, so washed pots, cleared greenhouse and turned compost bins, very satisfying.

Been gardening for four years, but often hit and miss.

Herbs going well. So warm this winter, many not stopped grwoing.

Well hello again.
What a lovely day-turned my compost and planted a gorgeous cooking cherry tree.
garden is more like a sodden heap of mud and was heaving as had to pick up a weeks worth of doogy poo ! But hey ho was good to be out.
Oh and i started some herb and carrot seeds x
