Lavenders_Blue Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Well today is December 21st which means it's Winter Solstice time.

Valkyrie Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm so happy to be called a geek - even if it is a leek geek! I can't remember off hand but I think 3 varieties plus the seeds I already have. I've usually been a bean freak or a tomato twit in the past.

Plum Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Just up the defences. Get the lion dung and beer traps out. Yeh longer days coming. Maybe one day it will be light when I go to work and light when I get home. Oh how I took those evenings sat in the garden with a cup of coffee for granted. Oh yes and 'Is Spring coming early?'
