March was the month where suddenly working from home became the norm, and for the first few days it was also my only outdoors experience. A walk up and down the garden a few times a day became my walk to and from work, which was much shorter than they are in reality. But each of us are adapting, aren’t we? The occasional blue skies helped. It was on one of these ‘excursions’ that I took the picture of our neighbour’s new roof terrace - I bet he’s pleased he has that space right now.
Our plants are starting to spring back into life, and I was pleased to see the plant which I’d coaxed along the wire supports do this. While our neighbour’s work had been taking place this had been rolled back up on itself, so it was especially pleasing to see it much more comfortable.
Colour is starting to appear, though the currant berry (above) has a section which is dead, which is now in our composting bin and the irises below were short lived once MOH and the lawnmower passed over the top.
There’s plenty of cutting back to be done, and seeds to be sown. The relatively new pots were ready to go, and so along with some build-a-balls, a top up of compost and some actual seeds they were ready to go.
So far the spinach, turnips, beetroot and chard (not pictured) are showing, the others I hope won’t be too far behind.
My gardening bug is starting to reawaken, what about yours? Why not add your post to my monthly ‘gardening’ link party, which opens on the 1st of each month and stays open all month - everyone, and all gardening posts, are welcome.
