Just checking in

It's winter here. Not much going on. Cold nights, frosty mornings, sometimes blue sky and sunshine all day, sometimes rain.

I'm busy planning the garden for the next few months, and getting a tad over-excited buying seeds for flowers and salad veggies. I've never been a fan of most vegetables, but I do love tomatoes, sweet peppers, and cucumber, so if I can grow some of those and a bit of lettuce and onion I'll be very happy for as long as I can keep them alive and edible. As for flowers, if it doesn't smell great I'm unlikely to be interested. On the to-grow list are stocks (night-scented and regular), carnations, sweet peas, and various others. My previous history with growing flowers has shown mixed results, but I remain hopeful of great things in the months to come!
