What gardening progress looks like to me at this time of year is planning the year and choosing the seeds I need - then the hassle of getting them ordered. There are plenty of online places to order from and there's always ebay.
Sorted out the potatoes - some earlies, second earlies and a couple of maincrops - will be augmented by supermarket non-certified "seed" which makes it cheaper. I plan to grow quite a few rows at the allotment but also to grow potatoes in containers this year. Have bought some polypots of different size - for spuds and some root crops as well.
Have got some fruit canes ordered - more rasps and some goosberries. Ordered some strawberry seed. I bet they test my patience. I only have four or five plants left over after the foxes dug them up and they got frosted.
Ordered some asparagus seed. I have half a dozen plants in the ground in year 3. Year 1 and year2 were so very very poor that I've decided to grow my own from complete scratch in ideal conditions.
Really looking forward to getting the tomatoes, peppers and other early transplantable veg sown soon. These first few sowings says that Spring is on the way. They will be inside or in the mini greenhouses.
Might need some more mini greenhouses.
Days are noticably getting longer. It's lighter when I drive home.
