Today was our first visit to the garden for 2026. On the way we realised that it is the start of our 15th year.
How well I remember those first days when Steve laid out the garden with string and pegs and the only shelter was a pigsty. We hunkered down there for teabreaks out of the wind.
Rabbits have tunneled up into the broad bean bed. Where have those tunnels come from because there are no signs on the back path. We reckon they must have tunneled from outside the garden on the other side of the fence. How can we stop it? I have no idea. Steve dropped bricks into the hole and filled it up.
Strangely enough the rabbits did not eat the broad beans.
Next job was pruning the fruit trees. Unfortunately the loppers were the only tool that have not been sharpened but I loved my new secateurs ... a present from Steve.
Needing a change, I began clearing the huge raised bed. Alstromeria, calendula, nettles, grass. I also removed rabbit wire and canes to make a fresh start later.
Boring photo .... sorry.
Still to go .... oh dear.
Never mind ... it was a great joy to be outside after quite a few days indoors.
