Talking Gardening Weather...at last!!!

Well, I did some pruning. Got the Chrysanthemums out in the sun and the Geraniums ready for the planters. I planted some more of last years sunflower seeds. Some have grown already on the kitchen window sill. I also cleared out the green house.

What a pleasant day this has been, with the odd shower.

I'd love to live on a longboat, but I love my garden.....need to get rich so I can have both!!

I'd send you some of my sunflower seeds, but you might have a problem with bridges. Grew some in pots last year.

Well, I have cut the Fatisia back, it was looking very tatty. Also the Laurel, will help make it even lusher than it is already. Laid some grass seed over the raw patch where Rosie (our cat) was buried. Found a bloody ants nest already.

I have also introduced the kittens to the shed, deep dark interesting place they found it too.

Had a brill day and am covered in the rich, dark earth of Cambridgeshire!!

The garden waste bin is full for the first time this year.

Not bad weather here either.

We have Möckern next weekend (04/04). Last year we had snow, the year before sun burn.

I will go for sun burn this year.

Hope the weather lasts.
