    Wow your lads were being very nice! My two never even venture into the garden unless they want me, never mind help me with it.From the window they can see straight out onto it but the garden goes round the house.We have been here three years and I'm sure one of them has never even been round the side:snork:

    With temperatures hovering just above freezing and a layer of wet slushy snow on the ground, nothing done in the garden today.
    I did manage to muck out the chickens though, so at least they've got fresh, dry bedding to retreat into. While I was at it I grabbed a fork and dug over a patch in their rather muddy looking run, which was much appreciated. :chicken:

          Guess what? Sowing seeds ... up to 137 packets out of 288 completed ... if I can get another 30 packets done tonight I'll be up to 1st March in my schedule ...

          Some things are getting rather large for picking out ... going to have to abandon sowing for potting shortly ...

                              Planted on two trays of seedlings and sown another four. I'm still delaying on the tomatoes but might risk it this coming weekend. :)
