Another beautiful warm day, spent mostly at the allotment which is now looking pretty trim. Another few weeks and the judges pay their first visit to look at the plots - Allotment of the Year competition! This lovely weather helps us to keep everything looking Spock and span - these little allotment communities could only be in Britain.
I am happily watching the blackbird sitting on eggs by the side of the kitchen window.
They built the nest last year in the clematis and I never expected them reusing it. The daffs and tulips are out, the primulas look amazing....My flower and veg seeds have nearly all germinated.I'm a very happy bunny.
And rightly so homebird- looks delightful! Isn't it great when you have birds nesting and you know where they are so that you can keep a special look out for them. It's such a simple pleasure and we overlook so many of those nowadays because we have busy lives. I'm a great believer in just taking time to appreciate those little things.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
THe SUN HAS COME OUT THIS MORNING! This is enough cause for celebration around here! OH are off for a day out and I fancy going to the National Botanic Garden (Wales) which has a fabulous glasshouse and walled garden, among other things. Last year we went in February and it was great. It'll be even better now.
What's more, the increased light should make my seedlings have a bit of a spurt today.
Hi, Verdun. Have decided to plod on and not worry about whether I am planting late. But then, I'm not really trying to get a crop of veg., just a lovely place to enjoy and be creative in!
Thank you for the welcomes. Doing my best not to be a fair weather gardener, but it's chilly today & now started raining, I had planned on turfing some of the plants out of the old greenhouse that have been overwintering but a chance of frost tonight. Looks like they get a bit longer inside.
I'm happy because when checking them yesterday I found a baby tree peony has germinated...I'd read about ways of germinating these "difficult " seeds, but I just stuffed it in a pot of multi purpose and left it in the greenhouse and here it is. Don't really know where it will go but I was just wanting to see if I could germinate one.

I'm feeling happy because my son helped me remove a nasty spikey yukka plant from a big pot which I can now use for more sweet peas.

A belated welcome to Kef.
What sun??? It's not here today - we have the wet stuff instead - but the garden does need it - everything will really start to grow now
Yes, Welcome Kef
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
