Here are the frogs! My first April DIY task was replacing the hinge on the
bike alley door. this was done with ease once i had found a hinge
the right size and cost.
In
the back yard and wild world it is the blue season - bluebells and forget me nots,
grape hyacinths and purple-pink spotty leaved plants are in
abundance.
Time
to take a p[eek at mid-April in the poly tunnel. You can see I have
tomato, salad leaves, chives and more growing well.
Down
the other side I have Brussels sprouts and cabbage and cauliflower
seedlings amongst other items. i also have several buckets of spuds
on the go - along with a stray white bluebell and one bucket of
ginger.
There
is a shot of the garden path from the poly tunnel towards the house -
the opposite way from the shot before. I did attempt to take a photo
of a pair of courting butterflies in the path shots - but fail to
have captured their flitterings, it seems. The closest was in the above picture - but...
There
are plenty of orange tips small whites and the occasional brimstone
fluttering in the yard right now. Down the plot, I have been busy
planting out tomato, cabbage, and Brussels sprout seedlings - and
watering. Easter's long weekend gave us 4 sunny warm days in the 20's
- reaching 40 in the poly tunnel even with the door open - so
watering was essential for new seedlings - and garlic!
