It was lovely to see some new faces at the February talk on growing vegetables’ in containers; he grew his carrots in polythene bags! Huge!! The next talk is on Wednesday 3rd March, in the Vale room, Blewbury, at 7.30pm, when Jenny Smith will tell us all about East Hagbournes’ recent success in the Britain in Bloom competition last year. Please ring if you need a lift, my phone is working again now, 850219.
The spring bulbs are making an appearance, snowdrop season is well under way and today I noticed some yellow crocus about to burst into bloom, I have seen mauve ones already out around the village, and I think I saw a bit of yellow on a miniature daffodil yesterday, in a pot!! I suppose I ought to show willing and go out and clear some of the frost blackened stalks of things I had left over from last year as today the sun is shining and the birds are nesting. I think the gardening year has just about started again, I will think about digging the veg plot, only thinking mind you!!! A friend has already planted his tomato seeds, because he will be too busy doing proper gardening soon, to get around to it!
