Reading the blogs of our friends in the South was making me want to make a start, even though I've always thought that March was too soon in Scotland. One old boy said you should wait till you can sit on the ground with your breeks down, but that might shock the douce citizens of Embra!Is the Wizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761353128112632116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-69147994978750573922010-02-15T16:43:42.514+00:002010-02-15T16:43:42.514+00:00No sowing for us yet either - later sown catch up,...No sowing for us yet either - later sown catch up, earlier sown struggle!Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-75233893804148608192010-02-14T18:02:16.302+00:002010-02-14T18:02:16.302+00:00Thanks for the soup recipe, had some for lunch and...Thanks for the soup recipe, had some for lunch and it was lovely.

(Daylight robbery that was!) <br /><br />Dynamo - You sound like you're on track. We are a few weeks later north of the border and I guess I was filling in my time by looking too deep into the figures. Things are slower here, but they do grow. There are quite a few factors to take into account. <br /><br />Jo, I'm coming around to adopting your progressive scheme. More to follow in Back To School part 2, but I've got to lime next year's brassica patch today.

I'm going to start my first batch of seeds off today, which will be grown on my windowsill until warm enough to transfer into the greenhouse.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-58063729040491804542010-02-14T09:48:14.388+00:002010-02-14T09:48:14.388+00:00Crikey hope you recover OK after that shock! Than...Crikey hope you recover OK after that shock! Thanks for the info, one to digest after the kids are in bed though. The only things I'm sowing direct in Feb are broad beans and parsnips. Everything else is on the bathroom windowsill and then into an insulated, but unheated greenhouse. Sunflowers are two inches high already, now that must be too early, forever the optimist me!Damohttp://www.twochancesvegplot.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8385309188349657993.post-30639730796988418292010-02-13T20:25:25.652+00:002010-02-13T20:25:25.652+00:00All I know is that it's icy cold here in the W...All I know is that it's icy cold here in the Welsh hills today!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
