Sunday – Home – The first day of meteorological spring and the sun is out albeit with threatening clouds still in the sky. The lack of entries for the past month is indicative of deterioration of my hip. However. hope is on the way, I have a pre-op assessment for replacement tomorrow.
The bed that will be for beans this year is hoed. Grass needs to be removed around the edges but my hip and back are not up to it at the moment. The unthinned carrots in what will be the potato patch are dug out. There are enough small carrots for a good meal. There are also a couple of heads of purple sprouting. Yesterday I cleared vines that snake their way across the patio. They were then shredded and put into the compost.
A Greenfinch sings at the top of the Ash tree. Spotty the Blackbird moves across the garden making sure that there are no interlopers in his territory. Daffodils and crocuses continue to come into flower as the Snowdrops gradually fade.
