Windy and cold outside but in the Greenhouse quite warm . The Sun really made it pleasant enough for me to pot up 6 Hebe cuttings and re-pot 3 Vinca cuttings from last year plus 2 Pyracantha cuttings also from last year. Also i found a very small Tomato seedling had shown itself amidst the remnants of soil i had intended to throw away due to leggy seedlings. Potted that sole survivor securely in a 3 inch pot of Bowers multi purpose. Replaced the top inch of compost in my 6 cambridge Strawberries and re- potted a Strawberry cutting from last year. My Hederacea cuttings needed re-potting so i did them pronto. The potting urge was so intense that on returning to the lounge i tried to pot Tiny ,alas the little blighter was far to quick for me and he landed on my good ladies shoulder for protection. Totaley out manouvered by that twerp i had my lunch. Take care all Tony

Things are moving on faster at yours Tony than here....once you get that potting bug that's it isn't it? Sounds like Tiny is good at sidestepping, he knows you too well Tony! Hopefully the weather will be springing up come the weekend and we can all enjoy some well needed sunshine....:))
