Exciting news we will soon be hearing the sound of tiny wings. Blue Tits have decided to set up home in the bird box which we put among the plum trees a year ago. We stood and watched for ages as mum and dad went back and forth with nestmaking stuff, will try and get some pictures but do not want to spook them.
We agreed to go to the plot on Saturday whatever the weather as we were getting very restless and felt that we were falling behind with the work to be done. We arrived at 8.30am and the sun was shining and after some recent rain it was so easy to hoe (hoe hoe) and weed. We pulled a few cabbage and put in our broad beans and some red onions.
The herb bed is coming along nicely and with the recent rain and milder weather the garlic and onions look really healthy. The plot is beginning to look cared for again and we hope that we can put in our seed potatoes this weekend.

Jim & Barbara,
Congratulations on your bird guests! You have a beautiful plot. I checked out the beginning picture and later pictures. Such neat beds. Thanks for visiting me & Petunia. I am actually in Kent, Washington! Our weather is probably a little warmer than yours. We are influenced by mountains & the ocean so it is milder winters & summers, lots of rain & clouds, but can get dry in Aug & Sept. I used to live in the south with really warm weather that many veggies like. Seems to take forever here to get warm enough for tomatoes. I couldn't live easily in the hot south again, though. I'll be back to check on the birds and the garden.
Just realized it wasn't your comment asking me about my climate. But now you have it too!
