By the calendar, official Spring doesn’t start for a couple
more days but Nature is not a calendar watcher.
Spring has definitely arrived here, with birds nesting and
everything putting on new growth. Even
the lawns are growing faster (ask Son, he is back to mowing them every 7-10
days!).
We are still having typical spring weather though, with cool
nights and warm days. The fire still
gets lit most nights but that probably won’t last for much longer.
My little garden gets sun all day long and everything is
thriving. I have stopped removing the
strawberry flowers to let them set fruit (I wanted the plants to grow a little
before fruiting), and they are looking great.
Today I did some much needed tidying up in the garden, planted
some lettuce seedlings, and sowed seeds for nasturtium, salad burnet, and
radishes. I now have dirt under my
fingernails!
Have a happy day 😊
Margaret.
