    And now I've looked at them enlarged - what amazing prices. Don't think anywhere in France sells them that cheap.

    Hello Everyone me and the mrs have been busy today prepared the other half of the garden (weeded) i've put down poultry fertiliser down which cost a fiver from wilkos which has done the garden and borders so i'm hoping thats gonna improve our growing also i have added 2 strawberry patches at the bottom which need filling will do that shortly .Gave the lawn its first cut which it needed grass was getting long.

    Hels has potted all the seeds but we ran out of propergator lids but we'll get some more.

    Just need to give sheds and fence a paint now, winter tends to take its toll on them but never mind.

    Been great getting stuck in

    Spring has sprung the daffodils are growing well crocus have flowered and the tulips are starting to pop through the soil .

     It took ages to sort out the left side i think i had bindweed which believe me it was a nightmare to dig up but its done .

     Don't know if you can see the dafs popping up but you can see  why we have to paint the fences and sheds off the winter

    Thanks

    It's all looking very tidy and promising. You've worked hard. I've hardly started yet!

    Lovely dog, Baza. What a lot of seed trays! Hels has been busy.

    Is that you in your avatar picture? Where is it? Looks gorgeous, like the Mediterranean.

    Yes thats me we were in Corfu - Kalami . Corfu is our favourite holiday place going there again this year to Kassiopi .

    I thought we had finished planting the seeds but found some more flowers also need to get some petunias and then we'll be finished .

    Yes she is a lovely dog ,she was a rescue dog also, ironically we were in Corfu last year when Xena came to us .My daughter got her but she wouldn't settle with her dog Harvey(the white dog you sometimes see in other photo's) so she came to our house and my other daughter looked after her till we got back home.The original plan was we were gonna foster her till she found her forever home but i knew straight away we were gonna keep her.

    Thanks Busy-Lizzie
