Propagation preparation.

Now that the large poly tunnel is completed I had the opportunity to set up my propagation area. Just in time as March tends to be a busy sowing month where the seedlings still need some tlc. I have my heated propagators on a shelf below my heated bench. This gives me a range of temperatures to work with and I then have my little poly tunnel to move the young plants onto before they progress to the cold frames.

Being on the north coast of Scotland means we can never tell what weather in going to hit us next. When out working in the sunshine today it is hard to believe it was in the minus figures just a couple of weeks ago and so easily could be again before we get spring proper.

But keeping me ever cheerful is the happy little faces of my snowdrops. They seem on a mission to take over areas of the fruit garden so I grabbed a quick snap to share when out walking the dogs.

The next on my list to keep my eyes open for is my hellebores. Another great plant to give your day a boast. Mind you, I have a feeling some tidying of the borders may be required to find them. No rest, maybe the weather will be kind to me this weekend.
