Even whilst the we...There is alot to do, Vrtlarica. Even whilst the weather has been so bad I've been making plans of what needs doing.<br /><br />Thank you for visiting, Rosie. It does amaze me when plants which look tender survive the harshest of winters.<br /><br />Yes, it is still a little early to be sowing seeds, Tanya, but it doesn't stop my fingers itching. I'll give it until February and then I'll have to sow something just to feed my addiction.<br /><br />You've got the right idea, Kella. Hold off the sowing until you get the urge. Later sowings always catch up with the earlier ones anyway.<br /><br />I'm sure the warmer weather will bring the motivation with it, Jeanne. I don't think these cold dismal days do anything for motivation.<br /><br />It's some much needed colour, Bangchik. I don't have much winter colour in my garden, something which I must rectify.<br /><br />It won't be long until I'm sowing my seeds too, Natalie. It always cheers me up to see seedlings popping through the compost.<br /><br />They're such a cheery little flower, Kat. It's so nice to have even a little bit of colour in the garden at this time of year.<br /><br />The luxury of a heated greenhouse, Georgie, something I would love, but I can't justify the expense when I can sow seeds a little later and they still catch up. I've just got to stop these itchy fingers from tearing open the seed packets.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-30085680676606435622010-01-23T10:52:15.268+00:002010-01-23T10:52:15.268+00:00Hi Jo, like you, all I have in flower at the momen...Hi Jo, like you, all I have in flower at the moment are Pansies. They really are remarkable little plants aren't they? And I haven't sown anything yet either. February is early enough unless you are lucky enough to have a heated greenhouse I reckon.<br /><br />G xCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514712196560226804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-45101707557028586272010-01-22T17:14:48.330+00:002010-01-22T17:14:48.330+00:00I think those little flowers are there to keep us ...I think those little flowers are there to keep us from giving up hope.

A welcome touch of colour to brighten up these January days.<br />I think I must be in hibernation mode Jo because I've absolutely no itch to get out in the garden. It's not like me and I know there's lots that should and can be done before the planting season starts. I need to get motivated!<br /><br />Jeanne xReading Tea Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928999793157507134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-55893551950129564002010-01-20T21:35:34.292+00:002010-01-20T21:35:34.292+00:00Hi Jo I have a self-seeded wild heartese plant gro...Hi Jo I have a self-seeded wild heartese plant growing in the asparagus bed and its in the same family as pansies and they have also bounced right back after the recent icy weather, its even crazier as I thought the heartese was more summer flowering plants only, hmm go figure.<br /><br />Some how the itchy fingers haven't started as yet for me which I'm silently pleased with as I always start too early then burn out around mid/ late June which is exactly when the garden needs me most, so I'm hoping I'll have a more balanced growing season this year.Kellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007237364629419063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8184901344095001216.post-6204146388763191192010-01-20T17:06:30.183+00:002010-01-20T17:06:30.183+00:00I'm really getting itchy fingers too Jo but I ...I'm really getting itchy fingers too Jo but I know it's way too early to start planting so I am biding my time.....
