more daffodils

more daffodil bulbs into some pots, these were intended for putting out in the garden but didn't get around to it... so at least they are planted and they can be transferred into the garden after they have flowered

a couple already showing that they are starting to grow... poor things left in a bag....
and they are topped off with compost and a layer of stones and left outside. hmmm... think maybe a couple could go in the greenhouse to see if they'll flower earlier.
cold. very windy storm over Friday night... a couple of panes of the greenhouse have suffered... but patched up now. surrounding area has seen fences and trees down, so I'm thankful there wasn't more
Casper getting tucked up on my bed, under the blanket in the sun. he looks pleased . lol. bless him.

garden

I planted the bigger pot up with daffodil bulbs and topped all four of these off with little stones. I love this look and it  stops the soil getting washed out with heavy rain .
also a couple of smaller pots planted with daff bulbs, and all of the others topped with stones. I use this to show that there is ''something'' in the pot, it could be a cutting or something with a lost label, a couple of these have acorns in them and they can take a couple of years to show sometimes, and the stones mean 'don't tip this out'. it works for me.
I'm really pleased this wood fitted inside the car, I could have driven with it hanging out the back as it was only a few streets away but now that I know an 8ft plank will fit inside the car I can look for more wood and be confident I can pick it up even from a distance away.   I do try to get everything free or recycled   but I've had to spend some money  for these,  really good thick wood, and will be used to start renewing the edges of the veggy beds. it'll do one bed all round and two long sides of another.

interesting lactose intolerance article

Mongolian Heritage

 thankfully this doesn't affect me, such an interesting article, my own thoughts are 'we are too clean and too far removed from nature'

so there is something to being horsey and gardening.... such as making and eating a sandwich without washed hands..... I'm not off work with any illness as much as everybody else in the workplace. 

people are wimps now as well.. going to A&E with the slightest little thing. 

I'm tired and looking forward to a week off work from Friday.
