Edit Reason: forgot the books!
)
Went to the Splott Seed Swap. s 
Bought 4 packets of seeds from Wales Seed Hub (£10)
Acquired 22 packets of seeds FREE.
Gave away about 50 packets of unwanted seeds and 6 gardening & cookery books.

Just ordered 10 more, 30ltr tubs from Oakland gardens - they're on special offer at the moment, reduced to £30 - although I've never paid more than that for them. https://www.oaklandgardens.co.uk/30-litr...4401-p.asp

I've bought a 6 pack of coloured polyanthus/primroses for 2.99 from Home Bargains to brighten up a bare 'cofin' shaped bed outside the front door. They're still in their tray because I didnt have the heart, or confidence they were hardened off, to put them in the ground whilst it was frosty. I'll be planting them out tomorrow.

I'm doing well. I hope you are as well, JJB.
Emerging from hibernation, which is actually holiday and birthday time, back into the gardening world. I've even sown most of my hardy seeds from the order I mentioned!
