SPRING CLEANING 19

March continued, and although some lovely sunny dry weather occurred, other than the yard not much got done. I was about to do another round of hall & stairway painting, but then we had a few days of showers and stronger breezes. I contented myself with writing projects, study courses, being lazy, taking walks, reading, online sales, and general chores.

As you can see, I have finally managed to do another hour of painting. Here is the outside door surface to the spare room, now covered in an undercoat of Tibetan Gold. I am hoping to continue with the door surround and top coats during this last week of March.

 
Here you can see the 2 completed veg plots that have been occupying me outdoors. The stretch on the right now contains raspberry canes, strawberry plants, lemongrass, garlic, radish, carrot, spring onion, lettuce, french beans, broad beans and peas. There is also a small space for 6 seedlings to be transplanted from the sill. The area next to the polytunnel has had one dig over and the out of sight area to the lft of the second photo near the smaller apple tree has been dug over and showered in mixed flower seeds.
