Sunny Sunday

 

A very springlike day today- and quite mild - warm enough to get out in the garden without freezing my butt off anyway.  Planted out some strawberry plants  grown  from runners - for some reason my strawberries were hopeless last year - the plants were only two years old so should have produced fruit - so fingers crossed they will do better this year. Picked another colander full of psb sprout tops and a little cavolo Nero for tea tonight - not a lot left now which is a shame as they have been very tasty.

The sweet peas are germinating at last - I thought they were never going to show - surprising what a bit of warmth in the greenhouse will do.

Cooked a chicken for tea and pushed loads of garlic paste and butter under the skin to try and give it a bit more flavour but it still was a bit tasteless - I prefer those garlic and herb ones that come in roast bags - now they are tasty.

The wild life pond is coming to life again the water is crystal clear and I spotted a nest swimming about - whereas the fishpond is green and cloudy - it definitely needs sorting.
