How did it go? It's pretty frozen here again - just after I've got my first batch of seeds into the propagator since spring seemed to be in the air.

well ......... im finally back indoors defrosting :excited: managed to double dig 1/2 of the area im transforming on the hunt for some smelly manure to dig in now ...... in between the snow showers chattering teeth and a white inuit that is now black :o
think i deserve a wee hot toddy for my efforts ;D whilst i make my decision on what to grow for my first year
any ideas as i live in scotland the ground is well drained and raised

Pity you're not nearer. I could let you have plenty of manure.

You've done well - I've certainly no desire to dig in this weather. Planting fruit trees in the cold before Christmas was enough for me. As for what to plant, I'd give lots a go and just see what works - that tends to be my approach but it can be a bit hit and miss (and it's very season dependent - some things work one year but not the next).
