Well, the plan was to plant more seeds, reality is, temperature is only 8 deg C, so too chilly for me even in the greenhouse. I hoped the fresh air would help to get rid of my horrid cough and cold, but I'm going to spend time inside keeping warm with lots of hot drinks.
We are also trying to reclaim many areas of the garden that are covered in holly and brambles, turning them into cottage gardens. It may be a good time to get the sketch book and pencils out so that ideas can be easily visualised and discussed with everyone.
I'll be on the lookout for some typical cottage garden plants in our travels on the roadside stalls.
Just one BIG PROBLEM, something is munching the new raspberry canes Dad planted, not sure if it is rabbits or deer. Time for netting to be installed. We know that deer are regularly in the garden, they especially love the roses in Laura's garden, so we have put a cane and net fence around her garden to protect the rose bushes we've just planted.
You can just make out the canes and black net by the edge fencing at the front of this shot.
One very healthy rose, all are traditional english roses, repeat flowering, heavily scented and are pinks or mauves to go with the colour scheme.
The current rain is perfect giving them a good soaking before I feed with fish, blood and bonemeal and then mulch them. Hopefully they will produce masses of flowers this year.
Hoping we do get some dry spells during the rest of the week, as loads to do.
