Happy New Year Frank. No wonder you can't get motivated - who could in this big freeze. Good on you for the tatties, hope they are a big success.
At least they won't have cost much, especially if you can have a few from a friend who grows them in a bigger way. It hardly seems worth paying out for a whole bagful to use just a few.

And happy new year to you Frank.still as resourceful as ever, I see. I must say, I was very good and industrious today. My potting shed was in a real state as I didn't get round to clearing /cleaning it in the summer so there was lot's to do before this years seed sowing season. I cleared and swept the benches and floor/ sorted out which seeds I would keep and which are too old to keep and washed some of my pots /seed trays! Not as interesting as going to the garden centre but it had to be done!!

Happy New Year, Frank!

A Happy New Year to you, Frank.

Happy new year Frank.

Hallo Frank! We're all in the same boat, I reckon. Keep your chin up - it can't last for ever. :-)

Thanks all, even a short chat with you all,makes me want to do something in the garden or G/H. I'll go and have 'awalkabout', after my cuppa. Frank

Glad to hear u want 2 go 4 a walk about Frank :) Im keen to get sowing some seeds in My Cold GH but My Compost is frozen Solid so i cant :( My Fingers r itching like mad now !

Happy new year to you and yours Frank, as Spritz said we 're all in the same boat, I've just been poking around in my little mini greenhouse (all covered in fleece )and found about six fuchia cuttings dead as a dodo, frozen solid. Oh woe !

Oh no! That's a shame. :-(((

I did go for my little walk in the garden and G/H. I'm so glad I put my heater on afew days ago.I'm just keeping it at 2-3 deg above freezing. I don't seem to have lost any plants, mainly fuschias, they still have small green shoots on them.My arum lily has at last flopped over. And I was surprised how much bigger my one and only cineraria and few calceolaria's have grown. I started them off from seed, they spread well over the edge of 4" pots. I also put up a bird feeding station to please my wife. After 1 hr that was enough for me.
Tomorrow I am going to find somewhere to put my spuds to 'chitt', I've found out thats what to do first with them. NICE CHATTING TO YOU ALL AGAIN .Frank

i bet your Wifes well chuffed about the Feeder Frank :) I thought ud grown Potatoes b4 as u seem 2 know what your doing with the Bag Idea u thought of! Takecare Jac :)

Haven't seen any birds on it yet Jacque, but I think once they have found it, they will visit it constantly. About the potatoes Ive looked at what to do on potatoe growing sites, for container grown potatoes. Frank

Im sure the Birds will soon find the Feeder&Food like u say Frank :) I think its great that we can find out so much stufff on our Pcs :)

Hi Frank, another useful tip from you, I've just looked you up as I've bought a dahlia and I put a question on about it today so I'm going to re-visit your dahlia blog. If you have the time, I would be grateful if you could look at my 'dahlia question' and you would also see a pic of my lovely pink dahlia:-)
