    The problem I now have is with all the indoor seed trays indoors mainly on windowsills which need pricking out and putting somewhere where they won't freeze. I have various Lavetera, Nicotiana, Cosmos, Lupins and numerous other summer annuals sown a few weeks ago which a starting to get very leggy. Normally I prick them out into pots and put them in my unheated greenhouse but it's just too cold. I've already ousted the sweet peas, sunflowers, leeks and lettuce to the greenhouse but I fear some of the others are too tender, surely it will warm up a bit soon:SUNsmile:
    Got frozen last Saturday digging a trailer load of horse manure into a bed for spuds which are chitting in the garage and I've been frozen all winter working mainly outside as well! The bizarre thing is that as my alternative passion outside gardening is motor racing which also involves getting frozen! I'm beginning to feel like the iceman.
    Sorry I haven't contributed for some time - been desparately trying to earn a living:)
