Springtime is gorgeous in the UK this year with such warm & sunny weather in most areas. It seems April is probably the best month of the year in recent times and 2011 is no exception.

The photos above were taken on April 17th and feature aspects of my garden again.

The Tulips have been lovely and the Fruit Blossom was probably 3 weeks early this year.

So we're hoping that any frosts now will not damage the forming fruits.

Recently planted were more Apple & Pear Trees . Soon an Apricot Tree will be added!

The Allotment is taking shape now also and most of that is also planted out.

The Hens are looking well now and re-gained their feathers, since collecting them earlier this year. They are laying on a regular basis too.

The Greenhouse is full to capacity as you can see above. The Summer bedding plants should be put out to harden in mid-May and set out at the end of May. Fingers crossed no Frosts then!
