The weather today was absolutely glorious. I just couldn't spend any time in the house - the call to the garden was far too strong. So I spent most of the day digging loads of compost into the tiny beds. Such great fun ! There is nothing more relaxing than gardening. It's a great stress reliever (it does bring on backache though !) Granddaughter (nearly 3) helped me ! She really enjoyed herself. The garden was her sandpit for the day. She can't do any harm yet - but I'll have to watch her when the seedlings go in.
The sunflower corner is ready for planting up. That was a lot of hard work ! I have seeds, but I am going to see if I can get some seedlings from our garden centre tomorrow. Much easier - and I have a lot of birds raking around looking for seeds. They may eat any seeds I put in.
Tomorrow, I will have to clean the house !! It needs some attention after the holiday weekend. In the afternoon, I'm off to Millet's Farm (it's about 2 miles from me) and taking the grandchildren with me. There is a lovely play area, a beautiful little lake, lots of farm animals, ducks, swans etc. There is also a wonderful garden centre and Farm shop. A good afternoon's outing. I'll take photos.
