More from the garden

As promised more to show you that Spring has well and truly sprung, with temperatures hitting the upper teens - bliss! Long may it last...

.

The first photo shows what is left of our Winter plantations: lamb's lettuce (mâche), lettuce and leeks. As you can see the tent is still up from last Summer, storing a few items that were in the garage before the conversion. Hopefully this problem will be resolved before too long when our Mancunian friends gets here (hi, J&H - will soon be May). The tent will have to be thrown away as it was ripped in the February gales.

.

We bought four tubs like the one in Photo 2, one has become our herb garden and the others will be for flowers. We've planted lots of seeds so we should get a good spread of colour later in the year.

.

The trees are starting to blossom. Here you have the plum tree and the forsythia. The apple, pear & cherry trees are all beginning to bud. Hope we get good crops this year.

And finally......our first strawberry, photo taken on 17th March. St Patrick would be proud!
