Managed to get some seeds planted outside, radish, beetroot, carrots and cauliflower. Unfortunately I had an audience but hopefully my carefully placed chicken wire will stop them digging everything up!
And some pictures of spring flowers

Just out of curiosity why not fill a barrel with the rainwater for watering?

Can I ask have you got very good drainage from your compost pit?

If a compost heap gets too wet the natural composting process will slow down considerably or even stop. My compost heap is covered to prevent rain soaking it.

its has real good drainage, its on a bed of gravel and drains real quick.

To be honest though i have only just built it and the pipe at the moment drains into the gravel at the back of the pit and not directly onto the waste......im not really bothered if i don't get anything, its just that area needed tidying up and i needed somewhere to put all my grass clippings as my council wont collect them all.

Some improvements to the patio. MrsF gets a big discount from her employers, gas fire pit and rattan set from them.

Awning was my present to MrsF for her birthday and the rope table was home made from tyres.
