A Sunny Saturday












A beautiful sunny day with forsythia and daffodils in full flower, the first dwarf tulips appearing and some muscaria and hyacinths








As well as a lot of hours at the allotment, we've been pottering about in the garden this week, moving bricks and slabs.The re-design is going well. Brick dividers to mark 'flower' and 'veg' zones are now in place and the plants moved last year starting to show signs of life.


I'm particularly pleased to see these two forsythias coming into flower. Both were split from the old one in the middle of the garden. This one is intended to hide the back fence..
...and I hope this one will hide the compost bin in a year or so.

    1. I'd begun to think we'd got Canadian weather with the late snow! Everyone here is complaining that Spring is a month late but it's warm at last when the sun shines and the wind dies down.

  2. Looks like it's all coming back to life.

    1. I'm glad the snow didn't wipe everything out! Hoping to get the re-design bit finished soon before next month's mad burst of growth.
