As I'm not chucking my ring up every hour or so this year, I started off sowing seeds a few weeks ago. I've got tomatoes, courgette (zucchini) and peppers planted, although made the mistake of putting the pepper seeds direct into a trough outside, and now we've had some cold nights so might have to re-sow. I'm hoping that because nothing is above the soil level yet they may be OK.
Anyway, pics or it didn't happen, right? ;)
I'm the next Alan Titchmarsh, clearly.

I should have known that blogging about not blogging would be an invitation for something drastic to happen, rendering me all but incapable of blogging, resulting in... blog irony or something. (Don't count how many times "blog" appears in that sentence.) The fact that I have a tummy bug, and a cold on top of that, and work has suddenly gone from relatively quiet to rushed off my feet in the space of a couple of weeks leaving me exhausted at the end of each day is just... sod's law. Life lesson: the bigger your todo list, the more likely it is something will prevent you from tackling it.
When I'm not snoozing under the duvet on the sofa, glued to crappy TV, I've been thinking about what to plant this spring. Because of the recent move, Karl and I have very limited space now for growing. No proper garden, only what can be described as a pile of rubble masquerading as a rockery down the side of the driveway (although unfortunately somewhat sheltered by a low wall). That said, we are fortunate to have several large and VERY sunny windowsills, so I am hoping that we shan't be a total no-grow area. Smaller plants only, I think. (If you've any cat safe recommendations for human edible plants, do share. I have 8 strawberry plants but could do with some variety.)
I've been asked to mention the Litter Kwitter, but the thought of cat poo is turning my stomach so I shall leave that delight for another time. So there we are, I am still alive :)
