Yesterday we took lots of new plants for the garden....
.......cornflowers, helichrysum, statice, broad beans and sweetpeas.
It was such a lovely day, the sun was shining, it was peaceful and the soil was perfect for planting.
Cornflower and helichrysum planted and protected.
A new temporary cloche protecting another row of helichrysum and the completed sweetpea row.
Broad beans under netting.
The potatoes had to be earthed up.
The apple blossom was in full flower.
Anne and her dad have worked hard on the polytunnel over the Easter weekend.
The tiny polytunnel has done well over the last few years.
Forgetmenots have seeded themselves anywhere, paths included.
I shall be trying clear icecubes with borage flowers inside this w/end.
I read on Pinterest that you could make the icecubes clear by using boiled water.
Read about it here....
Some low shots of the pond.
Gandalf was waiting to come out of the cob shed but when Anne checked on
him over Easter, she found this......
....under his left ear. I am wondering if it is a wren`s nest.
I thought it was Radagast the Brown who sprouted birds` nests.
Well Gandalf can`t come out for a while, that`s for certain.
Isn't the nest incredible, it was a real shock to find it. Shame there were no eggs in it but I suppose there is still time, you will have to let me know if any appear.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the polytunnel complete, it wasn't as easy to put up as we had first thought x x x
