Grow your own and gardening offers!!

I am not a person who buys a paper and I very rarely read them, I tend to listen to the news on the radio or watch it on TV...sometimes I may browse through the paper at my parents hose but that's about it.

Although I don't buy a paper my son does have a paper round and his papers tend to be wrapped in old papers and you can imagine my delight when his papers were wrapped in the below today.

Extract taken from 'The Telegraph' 28/01/12.

I understand that the paper is a little old now but I just wanted to share with you the great offer that was in there. I have kept this and I am going to order some bags as I thought it would be great for my Sister who is growing some veggies this year in her small garden with the children. I am even contemplating getting myself some and trying them out for Christmas new potatoes.
They are great for anyone who only has a small garden or for the beginner...and at such a bargain price you can't go wrong!!

The Telegraph also have a website called gardenshop so go check out the link to see what they have...you might find something worth your while and I shall certainly check it out from time to time!!

And yes I do realise that this post is wholly advertising a newspaper...but the way I figure it...if I think I've found something that I think others will be interested in and may benefit them then I'm going to shout out about it!!

I'll be back tomorrow to show you some pictures of why I have been so busy this last week and didn't get a chance to post anything for you all to read!!

Friday Forecast....week 6......11/02/12

Yes it's Saturday....but I have to keep the headings in line and I did intend to post this last night but I was just too tired and with having to be at work at 6:00am I thought you would all forgive me for being a day late!!

So what's the weather been like this week????

COLD!!!!!!

That about sums it up.

The temperatures have struggled to get above freezing all week and the only time they did on Thursday we again had some snow. I have to say I'm not a fan of the weather right now and haven't even visited the allotment though I'm sure it looks very pretty!!

No winds to speak of though so there is a plus factor in there somewhere?!?!?!

Last night was definitely the coldest by far and when I went out to go to work this morning it was -11degrres Celsius.......I really hope this doesn't last for long. I so badly want to get some allotment time in without freezing any of my appendages off!!

I even remember one February when I had to cut my grass as it was so warm it had started to growing again!!

A lovely stroll through the fields.

Anyway I did have to work today and decided to take the scenic walk home through the fields to snap a couple of pictures of our snow. It's not a huge amount but the children have found enough to sled and build snowmen!!

Didn't take long to get home...just as well as I soon had VERY cold toes!!

Hope the weather is being a bit kinder to you where ever you are....it is supposed to warm up slowly throughout the week so fingers and toes crossed for that!!
