Spent the day in the garden then seed sowing.

Potted on my fruity sages and lemon verbena cuttings which have spent the winter on the windowsill.

Also sowed some basil seeds.

Hiya Sarriss

Let me know how your Climbing spinach go☺ The seeds I purchased suggest starting off cold so they are in the coldframe?

A lovely sunshiny morning so I opened the GHs and had a water and tidy. Tied the Bijou mangetout to their supports.

I have been seed shopping

Premier Seeds Direct have given me a customer reference code of WOO-####-#### - woo indeed!

still doing digging.
My daughter and grandson came round to help. He wheeled all the weeds daughter dug to an empty daleck - it's full now.

A painful hour and a half shredding rose, bramble and blackthorn.

You make a very good point Danny! It was my intention to leave that pot in the unheated greenhouse but I completely forgot lll I'll sow another pot tomorrow and stick it straight out in the cold

Nearly finished my raspberry patch.

 I know I've been going on about this for weeks but it was full of nettles and I'm not a great digger.

So most of the raspberry canes are in a bucket and I'm hoping to replant them into a smaller space - they had migrated. Hoping to get a good amount of flowers in this area with the raspbs pushed back into a smaller space. How will I keep on top of the weeding - I have t a clue!?

This is about 20x9 foot. Card doesn't last long enough on paths. Rubbish photo - the sun was low.

More debrambling of the back hedge. Cutting down, pulling up and hoping to reach a point where I can dig up the roots of the well established brambles. Somewhere in there is a "ditch" that I used to be able to walk along and scramble out into the field behind. I'd need a suit of armour to get through this lot!
