Dear Blog.....



Don't worry, this isn't  a Dear John letter. It's more of a grovel, sorry-I-neglected-you type of note. Really, I am very sorry.

My head was turned by another. Plus, let's face it, it's been cold and dark and not really gardening weather. I know others have managed to lavish love and attention on their blogs but........what can I say? I'm a rubbish blog owner.

Still, I'm feeling the stirrings of spring. Yes, seriously. It could be just wishful thinking but really, we know She's on her way. First I spotted some daffodil plants sleepily poking their head up through the ground. And then I noticed it's getting darker, later.

I have big plans for the garden and allotment. Yeah, I know we've heard it all before. I wish I could say I had big plans for you, dear ole blog but as usual I shall just bumble along. I may do a bit of tweaking here and there.

So - here's to you and me and all the other sowers and growers and plant-heads and to spring.
We have much to look forward to.

  4. Glad to have you back... are you going to share the secret of your discovery re gardening club and why you do it (and ignore the allotment)?

  5. It is hard to write about gardening in the depths of winter isn't it. Good luck with the plans.

  6. Blargh! Worry not!

    I agree the days are definitely getting later. I only really notice this at the moment though because I have to keep an eagle eye out to see when the chickens are going to bed. What was a 4pm bedtime is now around a 20 past 4 bedtime. And yes, it really does make a difference...!

    I find now is the time I start getting geared up and excited about the growing season ahead. Only a couple of nights ago we stumbled upon some latenight rerun of Gardener's World tips which prompted me to get the garden planner out...hurrah!

  7. Ah, thank you everyone. Did feel I would be perhaps chatting to myself (and my blog) but it's nice that some people haven't abandoned me! I guess that's down to good old Blotanical?

    Will have a wander through your virtual plots soon (birthday cake baking tonight=party tomorrow) but soon. I promise! It's nice to be back!

  8. It's very nice to have you back with us again. Good luck with the cake and the party. If it's anything like I remember with my two, "cake" and "party" are two little words that stand for an enormous amount of angst and organisation.
