I always sow seed no matter how old and usually have success, I inherited a lot of seed with the nursery last year, so we will see how that germinates this spring. If it does I'l have lots of lovely new stock for customers :)The Quirky Bird Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13857611654337366532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-40150862217537879042016-03-13T22:26:18.619+00:002016-03-13T22:26:18.619+00:00I really hope they grow!

The last sentence put me in mind of Winston Churchill with his on the beaches speech, "... we have earth to tend, seeds to sow, food to grow". That alone would motivate me.

Hubby started planting last weekend (in the greenhouse) and spent yesterday combining over the veg patch. We are going all out this year, we have even paired up with a friend so that we each grow different things, we will share throughout the year. I can't wait.
