Spring day
Spring is here today and I am fortunate to be able to spend just about the whole day gardening. I took time to admire the flowers which seem especially bright in the sunshine. The different patches of violets seem to glow and the purple iris looks quite regal. I saw my first rununculus bud. The anemones are still going strong. Even the red chillies seem to shine in the sunlight. I still have chillies on various bushes and I pick them when needed. I sowed red and mauve poppy seeds. Poppy seedlings are already appearing in the garden and I plan to stagger the sowing so I can have a longer poppy season. I have to remember to sow more bok choi and radish as I have been harvesting them. At the moment I can live quite well on the vegetables from the garden. I dug up a bucket of potatoes this morning and that should do for the next couple of weeks.
