We are now in full swing with our seed sowing for the year. This is for the Flowers which we use in our Jewellery. We also grow most of our vegetables, so these are also well under way. All our cold frames are now full (Time to make yet another one) so the overflow Usually ends up in the porch. We now wait patiently for “Jack in the Green” to work his magic.
You forget just how beautiful the are. So secretive and then – Almost over night – the ditches are aglow with them. It takes your breath away.
It’s good to see our bees out and about . Our two Hives seem to be off to a good start this year. We just keep hoping that the temperature stays high enough to give us a good “nectar flow” While the Whitethorn and Sycamore are in flower this year. The last two years we have missed our early honey crop due to a drop in temperature,just at the vital weeks. We still have a little left from last years main crop – but we do miss it if we run out.
