I was interested to read about how your September larkspur sowings have fared. I've made a note to sow more annuals this September as apart from anything else it reduces the spring frenzy.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-23577337273625040582016-02-04T14:04:09.594+00:002016-02-04T14:04:09.594+00:00Hi Annie

I love red cabbage but haven't been able to replicate that which I have had in restaurants I don't know what they do to keep the cabbage red - mine always goes pink!

I hope that either this or next weekend I can really get going.<br />I also did the bird watch but, unlike you, we have no sparrows here - I would love to see some.

When they disappear, you know to batten down the hatches...<br /><br />I've cut my raspberries down too, though I now leave a section to give me a small early crop - must get the mulch on the beds though, bless them, they deserve it!<br /><br />No seed sowing quite yet, though I hope to start some chillies off next week, and perhaps some broad beans. its the light levels, isn't it.

I did the Birdwatch yesterday and was surprised at how many I did see as the weather wasn't that great and they normally disappear on me for the hour I choose. Be glad when we get some better weather, I've missed being in the garden.

I've no greenhouse and few suitable windowsills so sow most things direct in March or April. <br />You had a better birdwatch than me, but I did see the robin.
