As far as leaving a
trail of mud on the kitchen floor is concerned, I am the guilty culprit. I'm afraid dirt & I go hand in hand. Today was a glorious example of how rewarding it is to get the spade out and immerse oneself in
fresh air and
birdsong.
Our good friend Andy helped create a long raised bed for all of the
heritage & organic veg seeds we have collected. I planted numerous tulips and gladioli and wildflowers. The
medecinal herbal areas are growing satisfactorily, but I can see that this year we will need better irrigation. All of the extra manure that was put over the herbal area has mulched down well and the crocus bulbs and irises, daffodils and hyacinths are all benefitting from extra
nutrients. Bring on the sunshine...
