So, I had a quick look back at last April’s post before starting this one. And to be honest, despite the change to the world brought about by Coronavirus, most of the month is pretty much the same, (which is reassuring, if repetitive). So there were no family gatherings for Easter, or trips out, but instead lots and lots of garden work.
So as there is quite a bit of repetition I thought I’d change the format of the post a bit – fewer words in general, but more specific photo labels instead. Let me know what you think.
Can you tell what it is yet? It’s a potting bench… … a smart potting bench And a repaired, reinforced and repainted bench Matching set!

The compost bins by the poytunnel were a bit drunk. They needed to be repaired or removed I decided I’d rather have a new bed in that position. It will be used for pumpkins this year
The area cleared and rotovated at the end of March Marking out drills for hardy annuals All sown, rows marked with grit so I don’t weed the seedlings Day 1 after sowing – the first mole tunnel disturbiing my OCD rows Day 2 after sowing – mice have discovered the sunflower seeds – only husks remain.
Hardy perennial bed starting to colour up When I grow up I want to be a bluebell wood The mighty hunter with his kill – sticks for bean poles. First bed going in to the back garden on the last day of April – small because the ground is baked dry The warm weather has brought out the butterflies, this peacock butterfly decided to be my friend Penny, the vintage ride on lawnmower gets an airing The back garden after a ‘Penny’ cut Washing down the polytunnel. Can you see which bits I’ve already done?
