Spring has sprung!!

I am not posting because...... Spring has Sprung - true to English folklore, as we were in April, we have the sunshine and showers, not expecting HAILSTORMS but gotta move with the times!


PJ and I decided that we ought to finish off the garden - start on my side he meant!  I know these things.....

So off we went on Sunday to fetch the 'Horse Manure' - he did all the sack filling, I admired the horses and gossiped with my friend (PJ did manage to get a bit of gossiping with his mate).  We had to wait until the next day to add it to the garden cos the plants had to be removed.



Monday saw us rise bright and early - yes! I said  early but I think the bright bit was over exaggeration! 

As I removed the plants PJ started to rotovate the soil.  We had to stop for coffee break but by then we had all the plants out while PJ had only a fraction to do, which was finished within the hour after coffee break and then the bags were emptied. 

Ugh! what a mess!



So we left it overnight to settle, and then while PJ went to sort steam trains, I started to dig in and ............ it was very hot.............. the flies come out when it's hot ................and there's 'oorsemuck' about!!  Not a pleasant job!


But it was dug in and most of the plants were back in their beautiful, soft, fertilised soil by the night time ............. a quick water and so to bed.

We left it all the next day and started again on Thursday - I did anyway - PJ went to play with his Princess.  6201 Princess Elizabeth may be off the rails in a shed but there is still plenty of work to be done.




I finished the planting, emptied the bags containing all the new plants, donated by my friend D and it looks beautiful ......potted on some leftovers for my Niece to collect and then of course ................ lovely to sit in the sunshine and look at it ....... in between the showers of hail of course!!!

I think we're getting back to normal .........  must be ........
