    No greenhouse seeds up at all. They think the same as me, keeping their heads down until temp. rises above 2deg. in the daytime. :(

    I'll believe spring when I see it....

    The sun will shine, sweet rain will fall, shoots will shoot, roots will root, knees will cease to ache, cracked fingers will heal & it wont take quite so long to get dressed in the morning.

    ;)

    Tortuosa is right. Spring arrives on Friday - how long it will stay who knows - but at long last the high pressure is leaving - yeeeeessss :D

    Fran, I thought it was the low pressure that's giving us the bad weather? ;)

    Anyway, I have taken note, if the weather don't improve now, then it's all Tortuosa's fault!
    :D :D :D

    We've still got a hosepipe ban from last year, and no chance of it being lifted, (unless of course we get so much rain that we dont need it) then they'll lift it. :rolleyes:

    It was great here today - got loads of work done, and even put in some long-awaited plants! Doesn't look much, though - mostly white labels to show where something is- but it'll look good soon! ;)
