Pretty as a Picture
I have been making the most of my garden today as the sun is shining and a great day to be outdoors. In these unique times of 'lockdown' I am so grateful to have a garden and be around the plants. Spring is certainly here with lots of new growth and I have the time to see where things are. I made a start last year thinking about a wild flower patch. I did some research and decided to wait for one year to see what actually grows in the that area before I add anything else. Meadow Cress has spread its delicate pink flowers all over and is so pretty. I will keep a note and in the Autumn think about the next step.
I mowed my lawns and decided that my compost heap needed some attention with turning and the addition of some fresh grass cuttings and fruit skins. I love composting but it takes about two years to reap the benefits. I use my kitchen waste especially all the apple cores and peelings.
My crab apple tree is 'pretty as a picture' and I couldn't resist stopping for awhile to take some photographs and admire its beauty.
Just spending time in the garden, sitting having a drink, listening to the birdsong makes me feel happy.
