That’s a great list Dv. I’m guessing you’ve got a BIG freezer!!

It's more higgeldy-piggeldy and less productive than a nice neat list suggests I might take a shocking picture or two. Some is processed into wine. A lot is just eaten as it grows, I just wander round eating the fruit off the bushes. After a very productive 2018 (due to the Beast From The East setting a proper cold period?), last year was a real disappointment. No apples, amongst other things.
Apples in 2018.

Still clearing away last year's dead stuff. Starting on the rose pruning.

I've ordered a greenhouse!
And the 20 paving slabs I need to make a base.
Fortunately I have about a month before it arrives, and the slabs arrive next Friday. Loadsa time....
In the meantime, I've been planting seeds and they're on the windowsill to germinate now. And my tender veggie plants I bought yesterday are safely inside overnight to avoid the frost.

Nice one. It’ll be good to have time to lay the base properly.
Here's a shameless c&p from Smell:
I’ve been seed shopping. I can’t really remember the last time because it was about a decade ago. There was some comforting familiarity with the names: Boltardy beetroot, Musselburgh leeks, Alisa Craig onions, Autumn King, Guardsman, Sweet Millions etc etc

Spent yesterday building the frame for my new small grow/greenhouse - it was a Christmas present replacement for my small lean-to greenhouse that was way past it's best and needed re-(plastic) glazing. It was cheaper to get me a new one than the twinwall to fix the old one. I'm just regretting it being so small now.
I was planning to spend my first spring of retirement making a wildlife pond and my back garden pretty. I will now be spending it making into a mini allotment (again)
I may be a more frequent visitor to the thread

I had a mass seed planting session yesterday. I really ought to have sowed some frost hardy seeds before now, but between the miserable rainy weather we had in February and the time spent training for my ultra (needn’t have bothered) I hadn’t spent much time in the garden.

Weeded part of the back yard yesterday...will finish that off today. Then plant seeds for various things...including carrots (need to buy those seeds...damn, should have saved that for my run...I guess I can walk there)

Flatlander, I was told today that elsewhere in the country chickens have been stolen from back yards and allotments
I have had a garden break in a few years ago, where someone picked all the strawberries, rhubarb and lettuces and also stole a long weekend's worth of eggs. I later found out who the culprit was...
