It has been a very colourful Springtime this year and not bad considering it was quite late.
The Tulips have really done well this year and the Violas and Bellis Daisies too.
The chilly mornings have probably helped them all last a bit longer and April was quite a dry month with no windy days to knock them about. I was very busy in my greenhouse again, transplanting seedlings into trays (Photo above) and there's now a shortage of space!
As this year I took on an allotment, so the extra trays needed, were for the Vegetables grown from seed, mainly into peat pots, to save disturbing the root systems. It also helps against "Club Root" too, having them start in pots first. So i'll soon be planting out my Broccoli, Sprouts, Cauliflowers and Cabbages over on that Allotment nearby. Its added an extra interest this year doing that, but it also means less free time!. The Allotment was in a very neglected state, as the previous tenent did'nt dig much of it for around 5 years!! So you can imagine the weeds & grass that had taken over. I still have some to dig over and hopefully be finished by the end of May.
