Ive been out today too,the sun was shining,it was a bit windy,but i caught up with a lot of jobs and sat on my summer house steps with my dog and took a good look at my garden.Im happy too as the new dog from next door was outside too,and instead of going mad barking she was allright.
so happy happy joy joy spring had certainly sprung here in my garden!!
I'm happy that spring really is trying now. Spent yesterday in garden. Sat and read for awhile then tidied up. Got more supplies today, so hope I can carry on tomorrow
My seedlings are all taking off too, have a greenhouse full of plants transforming themselves from dead sticks into fluffy mounds of green, and it was sunny all weekend ! Whats not to like ??
So, yes, I am feeling v. happy too.
Do you think we could bottle this gardening stuff? We could make a fortune selling it as a miracle tonic ....
I'll tell you a happy tale about what gardening does for you. Fifteen years ago I had a slight stroke and was put on tablets to lower my blood pressure. Two months ago I started having dizzy spells and went to see my doctor. after a week of BP monitoring he took me off the tablets. When I asked was it because of my age being nearly 85 now, he said no it was they were no longer appropriate because of my healthy lifestyle. i garden every day either in my own hlf acre or doing voluntary gardening for others. Bo problems - prescribe youself some gardening.
It's great time of year, everything just ready to go. Sowed seed yesterday, checked in the propagator this am but they weren't up. Maybe tomorrow. 3 days is my quickest germinate to date. Might beat that this year.
Marion, you're a real inspiration. Isn't it amazing how after a day spent in the garden all memories of the horrid, cold weather disappear. Keep it up everyone, Aslan is on the move

Marion - what a lovely tale ! I'm smiling again
. Have to watch it, my family think I am turning in to a bit of a nutter ...
That's great news Marion.
What's also great is that you can garden in half an acre & when that's done you're off to find more!!
