Sorry haven't been around a few weeks. My enthusiasm hasn't died off fortunately. :) Have some pics but need to get them off the camera first. A couple weekends ago some friends helped me chop more of my bramble and we had a bonfire which was wonderful! Fire really freaks me out though so I stood by nervously the whole time with a bucket, heehee. Fortunately (for my sanity) the fire was contained in the old compost bin that has finally been found in the woods... my friends are so great, we've actually now officially cleared half the plot of bramble! ;D (not the roots yet though, alas)
I've been patiently waiting since then because of all the sage advice on here about possible late March frosts. You guys are brilliant! So thanks for that, I would probably have lost a bunch of stuff otherwise in my eagerness.
Another friend gave me some free flower seeds today so I'll add them to the flower bed. Looks like Azaleas and er, don't know. They say "Sommerazalee" (azaleenschau einjahrig underneath) - so guessing their annuals - and the others are "Tagetes" (with 'bonita Mischung einjahrig underneath). My German can do a citybreak in Berlin but doesn't extend to translating seed packets. :P
Anyway, just missed you all here on the forum and wanted to say 'hi'. I should be working now so will try to post a piccie of the plot later.
Ta,
Tina.
