Spring

This weekend we have been busy in the garden cutting back trees and shrubs and getting cuttings ready for planting up. We took time out on Saturday to wish Alan a Happy Birthday and discovered they were having a weekend away.

The tree came into flower this weekend, but looking at the photo we realised how much we have to do, we are moving the shed so have to concrete a new base also the tall tree at the back needs branches to be taken off and the fence needs attention.

Some of the plants we are bringing on in the polly tunnel the three rose trees I saved from the basket of flowers Siew Gin and Alan sent for my birthday they should look great this year.  Also the lupins we have brought on from seeds.

Patrick is very proud of his broad beans he has these in the polly tunel and more in the garden, trying a new way of starting off onions be interesting to see if they come on and produce larger onions.

We also have lots of seeds up in the green house hoping to pick things much earlier this year, strawberries are also looking great.
