We’re coming up to the last month of Winter. Hopefully things warm up soon and shake off the grey.

The snow peas got eaten very quickly so my plan of revitalising the potted soil over winter didn’t happen. And the pots are sprouting weeds. It’s fine.

I’ve given away the remaining vegetable seeds to a friend’s kid who gardens, hopefully they get good use out of them before they get too old to grow.

I’m eyeing off a lot of herb and flower seeds for Spring that would attract pollinators and be less work but am still so limited in space. Less still thanks to other people’s invasive plants. I could use recycled containers or obtain pots but don’t want to accumulate too much or buy too many seeds.

Also so far the things I’m looking at are perennials which would tie up my pots for a long time or even possibly be too big for them.

I wish there were small trial bundles of annuals or biennials with a few seeds of each type. Or that I had the energy and comfort level to guerrilla garden.

Maybe neighbours or randoms would take seedlings.
