  • It was discovered yesterday, but I found a solitary bluebell hidden amongst 2 large domed hebes, and the single flowered peony which came up which I never knew existed til this year has now burst into one large red flower and I must say it looks amazing. Lovely to have discovered it. Oh also the little green raspberries forming behind the flowers are getting bigger and bigger each day. Oh and found 2 more sets of flowers on the largest tomato plant. I could go on for a long time ;)
    Ahhhh.... lemony fresh victory is mineee!!!

    There's a right racket going on in one of the bird boxes, just near my veg patch.

    I've just watched my son tip-toeing around the raised beds so as not to disturb the new chicks.

    What a lovely thread! The thing that made me smile this morning was watching mr and mrs chaffinch bringing their babies down to the pond for a bath and paddle n the waterfall, also noticed buds on my courgettes that i grew from seeds all very exciting and i could just feel the stress ebbing away

    It's only a bargain if you were going to buy it anyway!

    and finding that two of my strawberries are bright red with only a teeny patch of green on them. i reckon 2 more days and they'll be ready for eating! :D

    Well it's most days really. I just love the smell of my hands after checking over my tomato plants. It just gives me that summer feeling.
