Everything is shooting up and the daffs and primroses are out. A lovely feeling of promise is in the air!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385150635938870512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-25626107191142997852014-03-19T09:05:43.497+00:002014-03-19T09:05:43.497+00:00Can't beat a good clearing up time in the gard...Can't beat a good clearing up time in the garden can you? The weather doesn't look too good from Friday onwards. All brown painting done, just the back gate in black, then all the black painting done. I shall decide which bed needs warming first to sow, then cover it with my thick plastic lids.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-33831819248175405222014-03-18T22:46:57.102+00:002014-03-18T22:46:57.102+00:00You have been busy!

I feel so much better now that I have tidied everything up.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-7402321979040391002014-03-18T09:29:29.446+00:002014-03-18T09:29:29.446+00:00DB made me one years ago, we had it for ages but c...DB made me one years ago, we had it for ages but chopped it up last year as it fell out of use and was going rotten. Lovely to look at but quite heavy to put the lid on and off, plus lift off each side to empty it. Mind you, he may have used a lot thicker wood than the bought ones!Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-32324099977452247832014-03-18T09:28:21.314+00:002014-03-18T09:28:21.314+00:00True but if the future forecast is anything to go ...True but if the future forecast is anything to go by, we should be back to normal later in the week.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-54668748111040479662014-03-18T09:27:56.716+00:002014-03-18T09:27:56.716+00:00I wouldn't really want any of my neighbours st...I wouldn't really want any of my neighbours stuff to compost as I am organic and they aren't. One doesn't use pesticides but his lawn is full of weeds! Good idea though. I used to have some of B's lawn clippings when she was alive, but no more sadly. The 3 or so bags I get is enough to feed everything in the back. The front gets other stuff.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-39265710162198539842014-03-18T07:31:17.080+00:002014-03-18T07:31:17.080+00:00Isn't it a great feeling when spring comes and...Isn't it a great feeling when spring comes and the garden starts coming alive. You are certainly a lot tidier than me - in fact you put me to shame! I have supplied all the other liveaboards around me with compost buckets and compostable bags (free from mother and the house) and so I have a good supply of compostable materials - perhaps your neighbours would do the same? xxxxFranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117681021989984923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5339317216265636215.post-23068239785520988342014-03-17T20:38:14.216+00:002014-03-17T20:38:14.216+00:00Sounds as if its all go in your garden!

We are awaiting a wooden compost bin in the shape of a bee hive - something he's been after for some time and will be an added bonus to our garden as both a feature and its usefulness.<br />Patricia xPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116574112768767203noreply@blogger.com
