A bright and very cold start to the day. Looks as if we might get into the garden later.

I moved another one of the compost bins across the garden to it's new place on the South side of the garden.

Sunrise     07:28     Sunset     17:44 A cold start to the day but very bright, no clouds to start with. Forecast a bit dodgy for the rest of the week. I started the day by bringing this blog up to date. Now for the garden. I moved the wet soil out of the shed into the sun in the wheelbarrow. I found good signs of growth in the greenhouse on the peas and the Ailsa Craig onions. Here is a photo of the new crab apple tree. I spent a good part of the day moving things around in the workshop to help m e get the place ready for some more pieces from the shed.

Sunrise               05:43           Sunset               20:57 Another good day, still very cold, the weather people say that April was the coldest  April since records began. I did a little work around the pond today and the wild garlic area.  Alison planted some White Foxgloves from a seed tray into individual pots. We took some more Dianthus cuttings from an over grown plant from last year. These cuttings will give a good display later in the year. White Foxgloves Dianthus cuttings along with a few other plants. No gardening this afternoon, family taxi service to take Jay to the caravan.

Sunrise     07:32     Sunset         17:40 Another damp start, forecast is for more rain. A message to do this morning so after a quick walk around the back garden to check things I had to go out. When I was out I called at Walkers and got 60 flower pots and 3 packets of seeds. Yellow tomatoes, Lovage and Chilli Tabasco. The rain started about 10:00 and stayed on until dusk. I did a bit in the potting shed, working in the garden was not possible. Here is a photo of my pot of hanging pelargoniums and a red pelargonium overwintering in the greenhouse.
