this Christmas basket was put out into the greenhouse last week, it looks quite happy, there was a poinsetia in it as well when I recieved it but that died after about three days... its been in the house since the week before christmas.

something a bit odd happened there when I tried to move the photo order... 

the small pot and this bucket inside a trug... are the Home Bargains freesias and I put two of the seed potatoes into a standard three gallon bucket with holes drilled in the bottom... and this is sitting in a trug.. to make it easy to water and to provide some further protection from cold out in the greenhouse
the leek seeds are coming up, I will eat the excess as they grow and end up with one per square that will get planted out in the garden later in the year,
the nearest propagator is one bought last year, with its nice clear plastic, and the one behind is an old yellowed one, very brittle now, it cracked as it was washed today with hot water and a sponge, it still does its job.
the daffodils in pots, outside, are starting to poke through, it doesn't look like they've all grown.. but there's time yet to see if any more come.

some little snowdrops at the bottom of the hedge by the tree.

so many more snowdrops there than here (green with envy), but i am beginning to see a hint of yellow in one of the daffodills growing outside and in a "forgotten" place -- not too much longer now! tho normal time is a month from now and beyond...
