Another dry day, plenty cold, about 4 degrees according to the car.
Not much done this morning, a visit to Chiropractor and a lot of family running around.
After lunch I went into the back and started on the "Hesketh Knight" chrysanthemums. These are a lovely bronze flower and worth propagating more for later in the year. I lift the root ball of the plant and store them on trays for a week or so. Then the shoots will have grown enough to be transplanted and grown on in separate plant pots until read to grow on for next years blooms. This was first shown to me by my Grandfather, Tommy Lyons from Belfast about 1960 or so.

Tomorrows forecast looks similar to today, I might get at the Figs in the morning.
