Digging and mowing

Beautiful day today. Blue sky, and really warm. Lots more digging today, and I mowed the lawn, for the first time since last year!

Wind is up again, and more digging

How did my little greenhouse end up here?! I put it outside the other day, near the house, and in the night the wind must have picked it right up and put it on my decked area! 

Broad beans are sprouting well: 

I planted a few onion bulbs in a row in the vege patch: 

And I've finally dug out this big spiky plant that was on it's last legs, I'm going to put the sweet peas here, I think. 

More digging

More digging today, still finding big rocks in the ground. Not sure what to do with them all, I've got piles of them! Also planted a sage plant in the path, near the thyme plant. 

A few tomatoes and some parsley

I planted a few seeds today, some 'red cherry' tomatoes (just a few) and some parsley (Italian Giant). I got home and it was still light, so I also dug a spot by my path in our lawn and put in a thyme plant that I bought last month.

Seed swapping

I swapped some beans with a friend at work for lots of flower seeds (the pics are the ones I gave to her. I kept a few beans of each, so I took photos of the packets so I know how to grow them!). 

Sweet Pea Sun Salutations

The sweet pea seedlings were reaching for the sun this morning.

Sprouts, shoots and digging

The broad beans are starting to sprout:

..and so are the sweet peas: 

 Outside there are signs of the mint re-growing:

There are lovely tiny leaves on my roses:

 

And the magnolia tree might bloom sometime soon! 

This afternoon was lovely and sunny. I spent a couple of hours digging, I'm still finding massive rocks in the soil under the lawn - left over from when the house was built I think.
