This morning I decided to weed flower bed 1. I’ve done it a hundred times before so I just thought it was going to be a normal day. As I was digging something caught my eye, shining in the sunshine. On closer inspection, and to my absolute delight, I discovered is was a gold coin.

Today I weeded flower bed 2. Not a big job you might say, but big enough. It’s always been a bit of a problem bed (but not the worst) due to the fact that it’s infested with a very pervasive grass which has long, strong, white roots, and if only half an inch is left in the ground it will re-grow, and then you’re back to square one.

They were right, there was a sharp frost last night. The poor daffodils were on their knees this morning, but had rallied by lunchtime. How do they do that? First the strong winds and now this, they really are having a rough time this Spring. Good job I covered the gunnera.

Today I dared myself to check out the root situation on the fuchsia cuttings. Not brilliant news I’m afraid, but with a bit of luck and not too much of a following wind (don’t want them to dry out now, do I!) I should have about a 50% success rate. Not bad but could do better.

Today it has been very windy, and the morning was a bit of a wash-out, but the sun shone this afternoon, so I took the opportunity to relocate all the turf off-cuts from Wednesdays exertions.

Never let it be said that we don’t do a proper job once we start. Despite feeling absolutely dreadful after yesterdays activities, we were out in the garden again this afternoon to finish what we’d started.

Today we finally tackled the Pythagoras job in the vegetable garden. We’ve been working up to it for weeks. What a job! Not made easier by the fact that we’re both still suffering the effects of a very bad cough and cold. But the sun was shining (even though it was blowing a gale) and the job needed doing urgently, so that’s what we did.
