Congratulations on getting the extra plot, more work ahead now. I'm jealous of you getting so much done, it was throwing it down here yesterday. What a lovely hubby surprising you with flowers like that.

Ann...isn't it weird how we all move our clocks at different times...I'm jealous that you got to move yours already!

Kella...so glad spring is coming for you too...it's really lifting my spirits after the cold winter...if you remember the name of the bulb be sure to let me know.

Jo..fingers crossed the rain clears for you.

Green Lane Allotments...I've never heard of 'snowflake' flowers...must be mu bad photography..oops!

tpals...glad your snow is finally leaving...we got off very light compared to you...sorry for all the moaning about the little bit we had!!

Graeme...I guy after my own heart!

Lottie....I did have a very nice day....roll on summer! and don't worry, your comment was relevant.

Scented Sweetpeas...I wish you luck with your allotment...hope you enjoy working on it as much as I enjoy mine!

Mal...No the rent has doubled for my original land not just because i have extra land...last year I paid £6 and this year I pay £18..but still a good price i feel. As for my Dad...he was just being a wimp..lol. Oh and O thought about going for one of the larger greenhouses but don't have the space in the garden for something so large and after what you told me I'm glad I decided against it.

Ann...My hubby was very sweet...I love surprises.. :-)

Tracey...Lol...dreams are funny things...I once tried to analyze them but it just gave me a headache...I think I'll agree that we have both have an unhealthy obsession as I dreamed of seeds and greenhouses last night...are you going to see if you can get another plot??

Congratulations on the new land and your impressiv...

Congratulations on the new land and your impressive looking potato bed!

Funnily enough I dreamed about you last night, you came along and snapped up 4 plots at our newly opened allotments which made me slightly panicky so I grabbed an extra one too!

Dreaming about allotments and blogs has to be a sign of an unhealthy obsession I think!

Well you had one fantastic day. How sweet that was...

Well you had one fantastic day. How sweet that was of your husband to surprise you with flowers, they're so pretty.

2010-03-20T22:38:32.013Z

So Tany, your rent has doubled....

...but you have twice the land to cultivate.

Have I missed something???

lol

ps Re your 3 teir greenhouse - a good buy. My more ambitious "Walk In Greenhouse" got shaken to bits in the recent high winds. £20 not well spent. (I will reinforce it and peg it down again, but right now I feel like I've been had. At least I hadn't got any seedlings in it as they would have been upended)

It is a fantastic feeling being outside pottering ...

2010-03-20T20:56:23.248Z

It is a fantastic feeling being outside pottering again isn't it. We have had a veggie patch for a while but have just started an allotent and I can't wait! Already planted a few things out - ooh I am so excited.

Oh what a fabulous day you have had - throughly sp...

2010-03-20T18:35:20.791Z

Oh what a fabulous day you have had - throughly spoiled - which is lovely.

Looking forward to seeing your greenhouse up and you new plot of land.

Not sure if this comment is particularly 'relevant' in the true sense of the word, but I think it is encouraging to know that someone has visited and took the time to leave to a comment.

Best wishes

My favorite season is spring; warmth without the mosquitoes. The snow is going fast now. I might be able to start some clearing tomorrow.

2010-03-20T14:03:32.388Z

The snowdrops in your photo almost look like flowers called snowflakes.

We have had a busy week on the plot this week but today it is raining!

I love spring.

I wanted to get to the allotment today but it's throwing it down. I hope it clears so that I can get there tomorrow instead. My favourite season is summer. I like the warmer weather and the longer days.

2010-03-19T22:16:15.040Z

Yes i have also noticed that spring is speeding up its arrival, I suddenly feel like if I blink I'll miss it somehow.

Its raing here too, I hope it ends tonight as I would like the ground to be just right on Sunday when i hope to gain some lotty time.

I also have that flowering bulb in my garden but the name escapes me.

2010-03-19T21:33:41.926Z

I have some of those same flowers on the side of my house. I love seeing those in spring.
We had our time change last weekend. It is rather nice having it stay lighter longer I just hate it though when I have to lose an hour of my weekend.
Summer is my favorite season just because I love the sunshine and being able to get outside and enjoy

The weather is coming along nicely here too. Today was almost a day we didn't even need to wear jackets. Spring is definitely here!

hope that weather gets warmed up for ya and you get some free time to enjoy it.

2010-03-17T18:05:17.291Z

It's hard to imagine. It's been in the 60's here, blue skies and warm. Although our weather is so strange that it could be in the 70's one day and pouring rain the next. I'm glad you are seeing signs of Spring.

2010-03-17T10:36:35.068Z

After moving my seedlings into the greenhouse, I've been watching the night time min/max temperature. The lowest it's been is 4 degrees in there. You'll have your work cut out if you get the extra land, you'll be counting your blessings that you got your allotment dug over in autumn.

2010-03-17T09:35:30.022Z

Hi Tanya, you and me both the weather has also been favourable these pass few days but my kids are unwell again and so my lotty plans for Monday and Tuesday when into the tissue along with their snot (eww! sorry for being gross).

The wind has also started picking up down here since yesterday in particular but I am hopping to wrap them up extra warm and bundle them down to the plot today, I want to get at least 3 hrs digging done as the rains are set to return on Friday according to the weatherman.

2010-03-16T20:46:58.542Z

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you getting more land. Although this can be a bit of a mixed blessing; more land = more crops = more work!!

Why not just forget the Brussels and grow something tasty instead?! ; )

2010-03-15T17:01:42.277Z

Our sprouts were a disaster too this year - they aren't the easiest things to grow.

Tidying the shed is on our list of things to do as we use it to entertain the neighbours to a coffee or two.

2010-03-15T13:14:22.873Z

Looks like you got plenty of work done on the allotment. My Brussels were the same, but I'm giving them another go this year. Fingers crossed that you get the extra land.
