it looks like the weather here is doing what we want it to do!
I spent the morning both yesterday and today on the plot. Much of the time I was weeding, but even after all that effort it still looks as though I’ve hardly touched it, mind you it seems that I’m not the only one!
Whilst removing the empty plastic compost bags that cover the compost heap I was surprised to find a mouse that decided it didn’t like being disturbed and disappeared down into the far corner. The only other wildlife of note were a number of spiders scuttling over the log pile.
The grape vine is showing signs of growth, and in the same planter are some seedlings which I didn’t sow!
I’ve noticed a few flowers on the strawberries and some of the early potato leaves are appearing
I’ve transferred the sweet peas, the aquilegia is about to flower and the lilies(?), that Joe gave me in autumn, which died right back have reappeared.
I’m letting this tree(?) grow at least for a while, and here’s the first flower on the plant in the stone centre feature.
Birds(?) ate all the leaves on this plant when it was in the grape vine planter but is now regrowing, and I do like daisies!
I hope to spend at least an hour there most mornings during the week when I’m working from now on and should be sowing some seeds each time I’m there, as well as doing a bit more weeding!
Happy gardening, and relaxing lawn lounging afterwards!
