Distracted.......... again

Trying hard to build up my strength, I decided to do a sitting down job in the greenhouse, which involved this



if I am honest it is not a job I do properly every year but decided I wanted to do something, outside, so this was the best option, so I washed all of these



top of the potting table



and both electric propagators



so I am ready to plant seeds sometime this week :o)

I've Started

I am stuck already with my shawl, can you believe it!!!!!! So I shall have to wait for my friend to come to the rescue.
So I toddled off down the garden and did some seed planting, I'm quite excited, I don't think I have ever started this early, but its not as if I can't keep the greenhouses warm.





Lets hope we don't get another cold snap.

Does anyone remember one February, must be about 15+ years ago now, and around half term, my sister was staying with her girls and we actually sat outside , had a bar-b-que in T-shirts!!!! Lol!!!

Things to Finish!

I have been rather unwell, a really bad gastric bug which no one else got, and lasted alot longer than your average 24hours (4+days) and to be honest totally wiped me out.
But I am getting better.

On the Potting Shed forum instead of organising a bag make or a knit this or a sew that, we have decided to organise a 'things to finish' by the end of March. Which I thought was a really good idea. So many of us have a number of things 'on the needles' or need that push to 'decorate this' or 'dig that' so a fewof us have signed up for it.

I have a shawl I have been knitting for *~ months and



a top for me which has been on going for about as long,



plus I really must get the veg beds dug over.





So as I don't work I have chosen to try and finish 3 things, even if I don't finish them, I hope to be alot further along than I was when I started, if you get my drift!!
