Morning all...what happened? Did I sleep in 'til April? It's bright, sunny, clear blue sky and no lamp needed to find my way to the scullery. I did sleep a bit better last night, must have been the fresh air.
Jude I don't do anything special in the garden...the biggest, most tedious/tiring job is clearing the cherry tree leaves up off the grass. Leaving them just creates a soggy black blanket and even more bare patches than there already are. I don't get every last leaf, the worms will take some of them down. You can cut down your perennials if you want, I leave some of mine, they look nice if we get a sparkly frost. Mostly nowadays tho' they go black and floppy in these mild wet winters. Like woofy my garden's organised chaos, logs and nettles and hidey holes for wildlife. I haven't seen a stag beetle for years but I find newts curled up under things :)
Birds are busy in the sunshine today!
The bad news is my golden choisya's looking sick, some of it's dying.
Best wishes to Mr S, hope he's up and about soon shaney.
