it may be still cold but today the sun was shining...yah!!
so it was all go in the garden today..
the ground cover is going down
while waiting for the BIG poly tunnel to arrive we put up an allotment sized one to get some seeds going ...
while we sat having our picnic lunch...tea from the flask....soaking the sun up when the wind dropped you could even think it was spring...we talked of the things we wanted to grow...an ever increasing list....maybe finding someone with bee hives....putting up some bird feeders.....
we watched three red kites circling high above us....we listened to the baby chatter and the black dog race around barking at nothing..and wondered how everything will look in a few months time....it was once a dream but everyday now it is such a reality....
...we are trying to recycle as much as we can and have hundreds of paper pots at the ready..sweet peas are destined for these ones......
..gorgeous Hellebore Niger ...already thinking ahead these are for cutting next year ....these are the same variety as we were selling in the shop at the weekend ( sorry now sold out!).
While buying gardening gloves at the garden center yesterday I happened to look at the prices ....we are seriously cheaper on many plants.....we might do a price comparison like the supermarkets..watch this space.
Next week is Tutti Day in Hungerford....we need to redo the shop window in the town colours.... flowers are one of the vital parts of the celebrations so we have lots of work to do....xx

It is going to be wonderful! So excited to see it all develop.
You've got on in leaps and bounds.....a polytunnel....you'll be able to grow Everything!!!!
This is so exciting, I truly wish you all your dreams come true. xxx
Oh I can just imagine the glorious sight in a few months time. It really will be so satisfying when you sell the finished product, knowing you have nursed it from seed, laughed and cried over it and finally harvested it, and maybe even arranged it. It's great! Much love, Linda x
