Two days on from snowy Sunday with a lovely sunny springlike day today 
Last Thursday and Friday were just as nice so as I wasn’t working either day I spent some time here plotting along! I didn’t do much Thursday as I started the day with a headache which was slow to clear so I pondered and pottered.
Friday was a much better day. I started by taking my new feature 
to the site in the car then using a borrowed wheelbarrow to get it to the right place, which is just about the centre of the plot. I wasn’t sure that I’d even be able to move it let alone lift it but the third Weetabix that I had for breakfast made all the difference! It’s about 12″high, 15″square outside and 9″ inside. Now all I’ve got to do is decide what to grow in it. Any suggestions?
I dug in a few plants that I dug up from the so-called garden outside my flat including this lychnis 
, and some periwinkle (vinca major) 
and yellow fumitory (corydalis lutea) 
both of which I like, but I know do tend to be rather rampant if left alone. Earlier in the week I put some aquatic weed and a plant into the pond along with a few taddlers, which I got from my plot neighbour Lesley’s pond. The unknown flowering bulbs I mentioned recently are some kind of narcissus 
Today I was happy to see a handful of ladybirds sunning themselves on the original log, which presumably they’ve made their home. The good weather is forecast to last another couple of days so hopefully on Thursday I shall finally get to plant some onions and potatoes, and do some much needed weeding in one of the planned flower patches.
