Sorting out the Seeds

When the weather is crappy like today - it even blew the flame out on the flame thrower - it's nice to get a cuppa and all your stocks of seed packets and decide what you need to buy in anticipation of spring planting. I'm going to be doing more direct sowing this year, keeping them warm and watered in the hothouse is a chore I don;t need. I'd rather crush snails beneath my big feet! So out come all the ice cream containers of half, quarter, full, spilled, unlabelled seeds and a stock take will be underway. I got Eden Seeds catalogue in the mail so I can do my gardening with my feet up today. I know I need Scarlet Runner beans and the rest is lolly shop gazing...........

A winter's night, a glass of wine, some Bach wafting through the house, seed packets and catalogues! What more could one ask?

A really ripe Stilton and some good grapes..................

Yes indeed!
