The Garden in April
I love the garden in Spring! The tree's have some lovely colourful blossoms on, the leaves on all the fruit bushes have all peeped out and the rhubarb has finally started to emerge.

Compost Crazy
The compost finally got delivered yesterday! So we set to work straight away filling all the raised beds.

There are nine raised beds and 6 of them … Continue reading Compost Crazy
