HELLO Ali, nice to catch up with you. I've been without my tablet, so no filming or viewing. Broad beans have done well. ❄️Happy gardening, Terry King.

Hi Ali, it may be cold now but your only two months off your last frost date so the silly sowing season is only a couple of weeks off.

[@myrustygarden]

🥳🥳 two months should go by fast right 😂. Snow tomorrow they say 🤦‍♀️ so sorting more than sowing I think

Not Dead is Good! Sounds like a good motto for your gravestone 😅 Rick wants to add Here lies Peggy, she was a great weeder!😂 You have your work ahead of you over the next few weeks. Frozen now, but not for long. We are warning up quickly here in Central Florida, zone 9b ❤ Take care and stay warm ❤Peggy❤

[@myrustygarden]

🤣🤣🤣 that is too funny. It is not easy doing some things as the ground is literally solid. We wanted to go get wood chip and manure but it’s frozen also at the garden centre.

Yes consensus is leaning towards crocosmia so pot it is. Have a fab weekend 👍

That is good to know as one of my biggest problems is over watering. My giant or tree Lillie’s are stunning Brian and the smell as I walk through the garden is amazing.

Hi Ali. How the frost lifted the paths. Frost heave. Nice n' crunchy lol. The bulbs look like gladioli. I'm sure the broad beans will stand back up, once everything defrosts. Lovely cold, dry weather. I prefer that to the cold wet weather we get. Everything seems to ache laugh. I like your wooly hat. The ones they sell here, ride up and sit on your head lol. ❤Richard mentioned about your garlic, next to the cupboard. Are they in soil? My, everything is frozen solid there. Oh well, that's means less slugs and snails.Tomorrow, Thursdays, is going to a lovely sunny day here. Keep up the good work 👍😁🌶🧅🫑🥶❄️

[@myrustygarden]

🤣🤣 we have 2 gladioli and 2 crocosmia so pots it is 😂. Broad beans in one vegepod will go in a bed and get a wee stake to hold them up. But winter things in the vegepods are way happier than in beds at the moment. We are due snow on the weekend 🤦‍♀️. I made my woolly hat but didn’t get much knitting done this winter All my garlic is in soil but I did top them up a wee bit with some lovely mushroom 🍄 manure. Glad your getting a bit of sunshine cold or not it makes all the difference to our psychi. Happy sowings to you both ♥️💙💜

So I planted them in big pots outside and again nothing they rotted 😰😰.

Hi Ali, I`ve never sown flower seeds in a plastic bottle like that. I think it`s more common practice on your side of the world. Does it work? I`m thinking of my wild flower seeds, that are not doing so well in trays outside. Maybe they would do better in bottles. At least in there the blackbirds wouldn`t be able to dig them up.

I did “bottle” sowing last year as yes it seems a thing over here. There are lots of videos on it of course. I haven’t done flowers before but have done brassicas this way. The only good benefit is they can be out in the cold but as slugs emerge hungry for new plants these are somewhat protected. There is a lady in the northern part of the USA that has rows of bottles in her snow banks. So it’s worth giving it a try and some fun too. Have a marvellous week Isabel stay warm and safe 🥰
