What a difference a day makes

Such a lovely warm sunny day, ahead of the rain. 

 So I decided to carry on with a bit more digging, I have now removed all roots, weeds & clumps of grass from the patch to the left of the Leeks. The two planks of wood are protecting the remaining Parsnips that are there, we had some on Sunday for dinner and were so sweet, leaving them in the ground longer hasn't done any harm.
Finally a Stockbridge Arrow Rhubarb leaf, just poking out from behind that bud, it really wont be long now. The warmth has helped, we are expecting 3 days of rain next, so I'm hoping to see more Rhubarb leaves next time.
As you can see the Incinerator Bin has moved & in use again, I have managed to burn all the dried weeds, including all that I dug up today too.
So a very productive, but tiring day, but I do have a satisfied feeling I got all that done before the rain.

 Thanks for reading/returning. Ian

      Well Belinda of course you can, we planted Honeysuckle last year, to climb over the Archway, it survived the winter and climbing again :)

    Fair play to you for getting going so early.
