kr0n really has the gardening right now. I think we've got a bit infected by the spring feeling after all that snow. Of course a lot of it is flowers (the bees will be happy I guess). However there is human food as well: strawberries, potatoes, onions, herbs, tomatoes.. We'll see how that goes. All we need now are the chickens and we'll be much more ready for post-apocalyptic survival.
Oh one thing of historical note.. We had planted a cutting from the Hollyfast Road mint (which has travelled from my grandparents [Gwen & Burt] garden to my parents garden and on to Sycamore Cottage), which looked very dead after several months under the snow, but is now showing green shoot again. This is a good indication that this is a proper place for Higtons to be residing!
The only problem with all this is Karen's unhealthy obsession she's developed with Alan Titchmarsh. I am hoping this is a phase..
Been bracing ourselves for snow since we first moved in. Finally happening, so we'll see how snowed in we actually get :)
Excellent family (northern branch) Christmas. Having small children about the place really helps the Christmas excitement (and pushing them on their bikes is good exercise!). Good food, good pressies good cheer(/booze). Good all around really.
