    First I went grocery shopping and then to the garden center and bought these. Two Helleborus. Left is pink frost and on the right is orientails "pine Knot Select" ???? That one has three plants in the pot. Also 3 Ranunculus. And four snapdragons. By the time I got home it was warming up nicely. Opened greenhouse and checked cold frame. By next week I should have cold frame emptied. Most is in the ground already. It was then that I checked compost and found all the worms. So I gave them time to get lost and then started shoveling compost. Made new herb bed and got all 136 sq. ft. of one garden ready to plant. It's quiting time for today. Might be nap time.

    I thought I'd had a productive today but after seeing what you've done ....
    I did pot up 60 pots of bulbs though and labelled them then planted up a tray full of lobelia. Only about 20 packs of seeds left to do but I'll save that for another day. I think I'll join you in having a nap Donna.

    10x more productive than me. I end up doing a little each day which all adds up eventually.

    Busy girl, you!

    I can't tell you how much I enjoyed these foto's.

    I have said it before, and I'll say it again--You have a magnificent spread there.
    It all looks so professional and well-organised.

    Chapeau!

    Green with envy over here! It's still winter here, in fact, there is a winter storm warning in effect :(

    What a productive day indeed. I probably would have taken a nap just after the grocery shopping! :D
    Looks like your cold frame worked great. And I bet it won't be long until your garden is producing. Looks very good over there!
