Beautiful day, busy in the garden

On a day like today, it would have been nice to go up onto the Moor, but gardening needed doing.  3 beds dug over (my dearly beloved), carrots planted and netted against pussy cat attack!  In door planting; toms, brussels, cauli, lettuce, peas, french beans (would have done runners too but discovered the seeds were mouldy!), marigolds, chillies, and various herbs.  Beds ready now for the new spuds to go in soon.  A very productive day, hopefully resulting in lots of produce!

The daffs are now starting to come out, it must be warmer at the top of the drive as these seem to be further on than the ones in the garden, best move to the top of the drive!

Talking of the Moor, it is so clear today I swear I can see the military flag post on top of Yes Tor, which is at least 30 miles away!  Mind you, they do say that if you can see the Moor it is going to rain, so will see what the week brings, hopefully no frost or snow (thinking of Ireland and Scotland who seem to have got a second winter right now).

'they do say that if you can see the Moor it is going to rain,'
Don't they also say if you can't see the Moor it's already raining?
