Occasionally its as well to be at work . I didn’t see daylight today, arriving at work in the rain and arriving home 12 hours later still in the rain. Ben shot out for use of the bushes and managed to get fairly thoroughly wet. Definitely a day to look back at the past with favourite photos from an earlier spring and looking forward with my slowly growing carpet of plants indoors. I have a cold-frame that’s crammed too but I wasn’t about to get wet to take a photo in the dark to prove it!

My first sowing of rudbeckia are up & I have a slightly mysterious seedling ready to grow on for identification. Ben has been trying to hatch my beetroot for me outside!
