I just had to get into the garden tonight and plant out my carrots,beetroot, swiss chard and lettuce, tomorrow I will tackle the beans as I need an assistant!! to help put up the poles and make them windproof.
I will have to pot on my tomato plants this weekend and pot up my hanging baskets which should have been done by now.
Lots of flower seedlings also showing the need for a larger pot or putting in the garden.
I found a blue tit nest in an old bird house that has never had a nest in it since it was put up about 10 years ago which was lovely to see, I cold hear the chicks chirping away.
And over by the old lofts where a friend has been overwintering his bees, originally 5 hives has now spread to 8. He is showing no signs of moving them, which is frustrating as you cant get even close on a nice sunny day for fear of being stung.
Our bees need checking this weekend and I fully intend on being present. I want to see how my swarm has developed and whether I will get any honey this year from it.
I am toying with the idea of making some fruit/vegetable wine this year, I tried it many years ago without success but after reading a novel, where the main character was a bit like me got drunk on pea pod wine I really fancy ago, anyone got a recipe?
