And we're off.......

....galloping into the new gardening year. Today I sowed Thai hot chilli seeds. They need a long germination and the temperatures are below freezing overnight in the greenhouse, so I've put them on a table in the bedroom where there's most light.

I also ordered tickets for Chelsea Flower Show in May. It's become an annual pilgrimage. Now to book flights and see where we might stay.

I hope you are as excited about the coming year as I am. Happy New Year you lovely bippers you.

PS The chilli seeds have had a journey too. Thanks to blipper Glassroad in Western Australia, who sent them to me here in France, along with an excellent curry book. I'm gradually working my way through all the recipes so I need lots of chillies.
