It has been cold today. Despite wearing gardening gloves my hands were still cold.
We visited the garden today to bring some chipped bark home for our own fruit net.
I dug up four beautiful thyme plants, grown from seed last year.
These will be some of the first plants for my nephew`s new herb garden.
I did a bit of weeding but didn`t want to get on the soil as it`s far too wet.
The sheep had been in the garden and eaten some lovely broccolli that was just forming. We really need a better fence at the entrance.
Steve spread more chipped bark around. I have been promised another load.
It suddenly struck me that I keep buying sacks of it for home-use and it`s expensive.....why on earth didn`t I use some from our huge pile.
Here are the raspberries, which we have tied to wires for 2014. I am hoping the bees will get to the flowers more easily and that picking and pruning will be easier too.
Some of the sedum is looking good.
Other clumps are looking a bit worse for wear.
Perhaps these will improve in the spring.
I tidied up the chives.
There are lots of self-seeded borage plants.
One idea I am keen to try in the summer is to put a blue borage flower in an icecube tray, fill with water and after freezing, use for summer drinks such as Pimms.
Gollum has been spotted in the cob shed.....looking a bit wary.
Maybe because Gandalf is in the same room!!!
At home the first primrose is out....
......and a star shaped campanula growing in the woodstore wall.
