But before I left I did manage to prick out some seedlings and plant out some pak choi - which was my reward for clearing up the broken glass and replacing it in the greenhouse... The wind got it and wreaked havoc - the door is now wedged close with a brick and I am anxious to get home to check on things... Here's hoping the weather improves soon or the country will be full of near-crazy gardeners trying to persuade themselves that planting bulbs in pouring rain in sodden soil is sane...Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-66923359330469897022013-01-02T13:15:27.811+00:002013-01-02T13:15:27.811+00:00I think the answer to this wet and gloomy weather ...I think the answer to this wet and gloomy weather is to sip hot chocolate (or something stronger!) and look at seed catalogues - so full of dreams that are completely undisturbed by the realities of the coming gardening year.easygardenerhttp://greenforks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12357501.post-30243363177023642292012-12-31T18:00:44.878+00:002012-12-31T18:00:44.878+00:00Do hope that your weather turns kinder.

I guess they're used to this horrible, horrible weather!<br /><br />Anyway, it can't go on, and hopefully next year will be better than this one.
