.... I may mow the lawn before the dandelions take over... 

Don't feel too bad if you don't get around to mowing the dandelions - apparently they are a very good early food source for the bees before all the spring and summer flowers pop out.

I was just about to say what Sandy said - don’t mow until May! It’s better for the bees.

Mr A do lovely knickers - I usually get their high-legs with lace right round the top - SOOO comfy! 

As for dandelions - we had a goldfinch down picking the seeds out of ours the other day! 

Glad the dentist looks like not being too pricey and it was something that was essentially just wear and tear rather than being something you'd done to cause the break.

In year 2 of the Prosperous Soul program, participants explore mortgage neutrality, a strategy for paying off their mortgage and achieving financial freedom. The program also emphasizes creativity, encouraging individuals to tap into their unique talents and gifts to generate additional income streams. Through a combination of financial education, practical exercises, and community support, participants develop a mindset of abundance and learn to create a prosperous life on their own terms.

Participants in the Prosperous Soul program are challenged to rethink their relationship with money and shift towards a more intentional and empowered approach to their finances. The program also emphasizes the importance of generosity and giving back to others, as a means of creating a positive ripple effect in their communities. Overall, the program provides a comprehensive and holistic approach to achieving financial freedom and creating a life of abundance and purpose.

Well done on the decluttering!  Good news about the dentist as well.

Another vote for keeping the dandelions, they are all over my garden (and I don't have a lawn) but they are so bright and cheery, and good for the wildlife so I don't remove them until after they've finished.

well done on the words, the gardening and all your focus

Thanks Beanie, WD, Sandy, Skint, EH, Jwil and Lady

Good luck with your bridge Beanie. 

Thanks everyone for the encouragement. I had my hospital appointment today - and got very stressed on the journey due to roadworks and the kind of appointment it was - but I got through it. I'm booked in for the dentist for June - but have been put on a short notice list.

Well first day back at work done. Glad we have a couple of long weekends coming up.

I transplanted the broccoli seeds into cardboard type pots. My peas are close to 10cm tall now and at least 4 of my beans have now sprouted. My dill is doing well. Most of the other names I wrote on wooden markers - are unreadable. I have however now found plastic markers!! Typical. It will therefore be a while before I know what's what. 

I mowed the lawn but have plenty of dandelions left. Thankfully I also have grape hyacinth, forget me notes etc. I planted a couple of blueberry plants today - one in a pot and one in a raised bed. I have lots of blackcurrant canes in pots that are going strong as well as some under my apple tree. I may text the handyman tomorrow to find out when he's next free to do a bit more in the garden.

Night all. Happy money saving.

Your garden is sounding very productive.  Still need to get blueberry bushes.

Sounds like the garden is blooming,  even if you're not sure what with. Do like a good grape hyacinth!
