Things are going to plan so far thanks Ophelia. I have early peas, red
onions sprouting, broad beans growing up, spinach not quite showing its head
yet but then I haven't looked this morning. *I have little tomato plants,
mixed lettuce leaves, leeks, various squash seeds etc in the greenhouse, and
garlic, sweet peas, and early potatoes in pots and containers outside. Later
in April I'll put cucumber seeds into pots, and runner bean seeds out into
the trench I have ready for them but cover over the ground with some old
glass frames I have first to warm up the soil. *I'll also grow some 'spares'
in pots to transplant out later if I need to replace any.

Soft fruit bushes are fully greened up now and look healthy, including the
cuttings I took from them last year, so looking forward to a bumper crop for
jams and summer fruit puddings

Fruit trees seem to be OK - must remember to tar their trunks tho - made a
mental note to do that soon.

I don't grow a lot of annual flowers. I mostly have flowering shrubs but I
do grow a few. *I mainly concentrate on the edible side of gardening g

I haven't done anything about slugs yet but thanks for the reminder

How are your gardening plans coming along ?

Val, wonderful post, I am so far behind mainly through the weather and
I am hoping things will catch up as it warms up. I started seeds
early last year and I found that later sowings did indeed catch up
very quickly. Do you have heating in your greenhouse Val?
