Wasted Week


Well I have been poorly the last week. I had Tonsillitis which by itself has been painful and difficult to swallow. But I had a really high temperature, chills and headaches to go with them, thankfully I am well on the road to recovery now. At the beginning of the week it felt like we slipped back into Winter. We had a fair amt of snow on Tuesday and I had to call out the Cavalry to come take Lewie to school. I am really grateful having such supports around when I need them, others are not so lucky. I have had one of those weeks where everything I usually do in a day off has taken all week, because I have had low energy. So imagine my surprise on Friday when I checked on the seeds I sowed. Quick side note. I planted a few seeds a couple of weeks back to try and give them a head start. They are the ones that always are so small and seem to take a long time to grow. Lobelia, Candy Tuft, Stocks, some dried flowers. The package always makes me chuckle as it says sow in early March when ground is warm. There is no way these seeds are talking about where we live. We still have snow, lots of it and the ground is frozen. The seeds are growing. I think they are doing better because I have ignored them rather then pay attention to them. Not sure exactly what that says about my gardening skills!!!

"sow in early March when ground is warm" - Love it
You seem to be getting on well with that new camera - nice to see some documentary pics.

Looks like the seedlings have made a good start, cant wait to get home and plant some more, I like it when that cloche is full of little green sprouts.
