With the wind on my back I have been working hard getting the garden shipshape. There has been and extraordinary amount of digging and weeding being done so I can get things ready for the big day – the safe from frost day. But at the same time I’m nurturing a flock? herd? swarm? thicket? school of seedlings? What is the collective term for seedlings? Is there one?
When I’m in my garden tending the needs of my plants I find myself in my happy place and so finding myself in the warm, wind free environment of the greenhouse I couldn’t be happier. Check out what is going on in there.
Come again soon – it can’t possibly be windy forever!

They all look so happy!
I love this time of year – where you still have a degree of control over your plants before the grow into an unruly mess in summer!
Cheers Sarah : o )
Haha! That’s a fun way to look at it. So much potential for order at this stage.
Your seedlings look amazing .. Mine are midgets in comparison 😄
There is still heaps of time. It is so easy to compare seedlings but I’m sure yours will do well in your garden this summer.
Cheers Sarah : o )
Wow. Such lucky little plants to have you as their mummy 🙂 Hope the wind settles soon!
Thanks Jen. The weather is all over the place at the moment. Yesterday was hot and beautiful and today is raining buckets! But that’s spring for you.
Cheers Sarah : o )
It always seems strange that whilst you’re watching for frost free days, I have a concerned eye out for the first frost of the year 🙂
Wishing a successful growing season x
Hi Elaine. For a small window of time we seem to be doing the same things… I hope your winter is kind to you.
Cheers Sarah : o )
That’s an impressive greenhouse, Sarah, and a nice place to nurse along your seedlings as they grow. You give them so much TLC. It’s lovely to see. I hope the wind has died down. I’m on to your next post to find out.
Hi Alys. I do love my greenhouse. I was blessed enough to have been gifted it a few years ago and I don’t know what I’d do without it!
Cheers Sarah : o)
I remember you assembling it, laying the foundation, etc. It was a huge undertaking, and I’m sure that makes you love it all the more.
