planted the potatoes today with the family,

I usually use a spade, maybe that is why they are not very keen

When did this spring thing happen? Snowing today and more snow and cold forecast for next week when we're away on holiday.
Perhaps it is best that I've not actually got on and sown anything yet, even though I've been meaning to sow onion and leeks since January!

13 degrees and brilliant sunshine here.
Although I must admit it's only just cleared up after 36 hours of continuous torrential downpour and storm force winds.

I'm sure we'll have a visit out to the place apart sometime soon. Till then, stop rubbing it in. Please ;)

Obviously I got far too excited with my lettuce seed, serves me right!! I have spent two hours pricking out, every year I try and be more disciplined, sow less seed, oh and I fluid sowed my parsnips, but not quite in the right place, I poured my potato flour gelee into a bag I found, bag had a hole in the side and it shot its load all over my potting shed bench, so spent another messy ten minutes scooping it all back up, not easy this parsnip artificial insemination!!

I've been snappin dogs off lamp posts for a month...

[Odsox]

I fluid sowed my parsnips, but not quite in the right place,

I chit my parsnip seeds on a paper towel in the airing cupboard and then pot up the sprouted ones in toilet roll tubes.
Although I admit I don't grow that many, probably no more than 30, but I find that the easiest way for me.
I won't start them until mid April, as I find they grow too big and get canker if I sow too early.

Never heard of 'fluid sowing' - what is it about?
