Ah what a happy Saturday I had. Hubby was working in the morning, the sun was shining, so there was only one possible place for me to go...
I spent an hour pottering about, exclaimations of joy popping regularly from my vocal chords as I saw everything growing and waking up for spring, the spring bulbs flowering, etc. As I got cold, I tidied up the shed, well really just moved things about (why does everything that goes in there just get dumped by the door?) Then I finally did what I intended to do - sow the lobelia and sweet peas (I had hardly any seeds left, so after vowing not to buy anymore seeds this year, I think I'm gonna have to ::) ). One garlic bulb went in around the edges of my veg plot where I intend to put the carrots and the other bulb went in a large pot (all the cloves just about fit in it) for when I decide where on earth (or rather, in earth) to put it!
I did a bit more tidying of last summer's perennials that have finally died back (I can't bear to cut them down when they still look nice!) Then hubby came home, greeted by my beaming face, I was exquisitly happy to have mud in my nails and on my nose and a whole load of new lives growing in the compost.
After lunch, I dragged him outside again to help me pot up my olive tree - half way through, it started hailing, but it didn't deter me from finishing (I was so engrossed in mixing compost and gravel, I didn't even notice it to begin with). I thought we'd better stop there, though, so I still have to prune the apple tree and plant more spring bulbs that I forgot about.
ah big sign of happiness and joy!
So how is your garden/lottie growing?
