More Stormy weather 🌦️

 Walking against the wind this afternoon .  Storm Dave on the horizon just brushing past the Lizard coastline . 

Stop to study shaggy lichens thriving on ancient rocky boundary walls .

Ruby buds of Thrift waiting for a bit of sunshine . 

Then home and off to the shed to prick out and pot on Cosmos seedlings .

I really should have sown each one into it's own 3"pot . I accidently dropped the seed packet and too many fell out !  

Two days later they have all come up !

I put two in each pot and a few to give away .

I have put them in the greenhouse and I hope they'll still be o.k. tomorrow .

If these don't make it I still have more seeds to sow . I love Cosmos 🩷

I couldn't find the right type of string to tie the sweet-pea and bean frames , so I cut up strips of old stockings . 

                                       Ooh la la !               Perfect ! 

Tomorrow is forecast to be gusty and later on in the day we may get severe gales .

I like to get the frames up while the earth is soft to push the poles in .

I won't be sowing beans just yet though . Maybe towards the end of the month /beginning of May and this depending on how the weather is behaving .

I need to make space on the shed bench  . The Tomatoes ... sigh ..I am just champing at the bit to get them into the greenhouse , but really ought to hold back while these wild weather fronts keep rolling in .

 Hmmm ...... we'll see ...

              Things are beginning to stir .🌿 The Tree Ferns are awakening .
