April Activities

Please forgive the tardiness in blogging recently, but it is the Easter holidays and I've had a house full of teenagers and an over excited border terrier to entertain! Anyway back to an update on our garden activities, things are full steam ahead due to the glorious weather and we have planted the potatoes, Golden Wonder, Desiree and Setanta, seed sowing so far of beetroot, kohlrabi, rhubarb chard, carrots and parsley. The sweet peas are snugly ensconced in their wigwam and we have been overtaken by a frenzy of mowing and hoeing whilst we can still see bare earth in the borders. Shandy has fallen into a depression due to the lack of rabbits to chase, that's not because they are not there but that they have become experts at hiding, Giles has all but given up hope for this year but has gambled on one last attempt by leaving a pathway from the hedge and installing a drop trap, no luck as yet but I'll keep you posted. Finally we have stocked the sales area with wonderful seasonal hardy annuals and the garden is officially open for visitors, why not drop in and see us it's free and the gardeners are there on Mondays and Thursdays if you fancy a guided tour.
