Whilst doing a jig down to my palace(shed) i thought is,nt this like spring. The birds were back , it was quite mild, and many of my plants were showing sighns of growth. The mail had arrived and with it some Geranium and lettuce seed,s from a very nice member who like myself is gardening crazy. Not a titter about cost so i sent her some morning glory seed,s, Viola and Datura (Ballerina Tutu) in return. That set me of to tidy my green house. Cuttings look ok and checked for any nastys trying to infest GH. Am now up to my ears in plans for the coming season. Propagator clean and on standby, seed trays disinfected and awaiting seed. Pots stacked in jeyes fluid awaiting to be dried and used. Will be getting180 or240 ltrs multi compost in late feb. March will be a very busy month indeed, and with what i have in mind that is going to last right upto august ending. My peice of heaven starts in Feb and my only problem is i don,t know how i can possibley accomodate so many plants if they all germinate. Take care enjoy Tony

Sounds like you're gonna be busy then Tony. Those pics of your baskets last year look fab!

Very nice baskets. That seems to be the way. We plant a load of seeds and take a load of cuttings, then we realise, where am I going to out these all?

I'm sure you will find somewhere. I usually do after a load of searching for avaliable space.

Tony I think we all do the same, I offload around the family and often get more in return of a different variety, its all good fun and I am also eager to get started.
Photo`s are lovely Tony.
Best Wishes for 2012...

You're doing it again Tony and making me dizzy! I keep jumping from page to page. You're very organised , not like myself who keeps telling herself that todays the day I'm going to get started! Still I have to catch up with the housework sometime.Maybe tomorrow ,Oh isn't that a song? ah yes Billy Fury
Perhaps when the time comes and all those hundreds of seeds are ready, you should put a notice outside "plants for sale!"

I loved Billy Fury's music Rose and I think as Tony is so organized he must be Half Way to Paradise.

Hi lincslass Yes i tried to off load to familey last year but my good lady gave them most of my veg also (LoL). Hiding my tomatoes and lettuce this year. Take care Tony

Hi Rose Yes housework is a priority, and i do apologise for page changes Rose but its the only way i can keep my crew fit (LoL). I like the plants for sale idea, but my ideal situation would be to be surrounded by as many plant colours as poss. Blimey Billy fury was he a pirate? (just kidding) i had one of his songs on disk, used to play it in car. Ginellie above had the title. Take care Rose Tony

10 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Ginellie Thankyou for comment i try to keep tidy in my greenhouse but you should see my shed after my good lady pays it a visit. I have to hang my boots up if muddy and my tools go walkies. But its heaven in there. Take care now and enjoy Tony

Ohhhh! Tony! Remember what happened last year, when you got all those free petunias, was it petunias or pansies? You were deadheading for months! Lol! Maybe get back to the garden centre and invest in a few more hanging baskets! I'm sorry I haven't been around, Tony, the dreaded migraines had struck again, but I'm up and running again! See you soon!

11 Jan, 2012

 

How very organised - I'm only just starting to look at seed catalogues now.

11 Jan, 2012

 

I haven't even started to look at seed catalogues yet Frybo.I just thought , oh here's our Elizabeth at last and we thought she'd flown past due to the high winds and missed her landing pad! I think I'm going to have to do more than jump from page to page to get rid of the christmas weight i must have put on after all the christmas cake we've eaten !

11 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Elizabeth Sorry to hear you have been having a bad series of Migrains but your back and thats nice. Hope i do not over order this year Elizabeth but i have a plan B just incase. Yes hanging baskets are on my mind but my next problem is where to hang them. Only the yard arm left now (LoL). Take care enjoy Tony

11 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Frybo Put all my seed and plant catalogues away now as they are such a temptation. Its planning where to put what time and i,m going dizzy. Take care enjoy Tony

11 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Rose blimey i will open another page later Rose maybe more exercise will disperse the xmas indulgence(LoL). Yep Elizabeth is back she has been poorley. i am going to try doing the limbo for exercise as i am rubbish at Zimba. The gym helps but for the limbo the rope will have to be held 6 ft at least (LoL). Take care enjoy Tony

11 Jan, 2012

 

I think I know why you can't master that Zimba exercise class Tony, you should have been in the Zumba excercise class! Lol! Hark at me taking the mickey...I think it's brilliant that you and your lovely wife go out exercising every week, very healthy!

12 Jan, 2012

 

Hi Elizabeth So that was it then, all i know is that i ended up blooming shattered. We go to gym once a week but Zimba zumba not my scene i am afraid. Val loved it but she is so dainty. I have to hold her hand in heavy wind to avoid her taking off. Take care enjoy Tony
