The weather continues to be dry and mild with frosts. To complete the bulb bank work I cleared out the pond (more of a water overflow area than a pond as it does not retain water ) of grass and weeds.
March is upon me and it is time to start sowing seeds. Six varities of tomato seeds and two of basil sown and put in the poly tunnel fleece. Outside two varities of carrot sown and some parsnip seedlings transplanted that popped up!
I have been catching up with some autumn tasks like prunning a flowering vine and my hop vine. Grass, of course, has been mown and I even managed to get my petrol push lawn mower to start! Preparation for the planting of early potatoes is underway and hopefully weather permitting I will be planting those next week. Purple sprouting picked and some moss curled parsly to make a parsly sauce to accompany some boiled cod.
I have been helping out my daughter at her house which is close by. I have mowed her grass and cleared an area she wishes to gravel for the summer.
Weather looks good for most of next week although on the cool side!
