The sun has got his hat on 
so slowly getting back into gardening. The new veg plot is taking shape. Cardboard laid on lawn in autumn covered with compost. Idea was to plant straight through cardboard into soil, First problem hit plastic tape attached to cardboard when I laid it, was a pigs ear to remove but finally planted brown beans, cabbage and lettuce. But Oooops no space for sacred sweet peas that keeps wife Sue occupied for hours trying in, side shooting and lowering down and training up again. So lifted section of turf, knackered after the first three sods removed, reckoned I’ve aged ? Years with this unwanted smitting. But Hey Ho I’m out there. So be grateful. Fresh Easter eggs laid today and veg garden.

It’s been lovely here too and my coriander is coming up. Im attempting all sorts of herbs and a few vegetables but at the moment the soil (such as it is) is still very waterlogged here in the West of Scotland

On gardening days like that, I have something called a Dettol bath. Glad to hear you have embraced the lively season of Spring in defiance of a few knocks and bruises. The image of someone with a few red-breasted robins, feeding off their head flashed before me.

Loshy how dare you treat a gnome so cruely and he looks if he could do with a repaint.

I think my eyes must be playing up. Took me ages to spot the gnome in the pictures @Loshy @Pds

Us old gardener can spot a gnome at a hundred yards. Felt pretty chuffed spotting him myself as stroke messed my vision up a bit but enough to get by and spot neglected little people

As village tree warden was asked to move 6’ Giant redwood grown from seed from small front garden to village recreation field, that was 30 years ago now it’s 70/80’. Tallest in southern England is 130 so still away to go.

Morning glory Grandpa Ottis never failed on south wall and always self-seeded so never had to buy seed again. More unusual than the paler Heavenly Blue.

@Pds love the colour of the flowers 
Could never succeed with them reckon soil too poor. But good on you. We set up a small wildflower meadow in village on very damp soil and the native snakes-head fritillary is romping away
