Finally a warm day

At last today the sun was shining enough for me to start some gardening. I don't mind a spot of cold gardening but with all the snow we've had lately the ground has been too hard to dig. My first job was cutting the grass. It really wasn't that long but it just neatness things up. I also re-edged the lawn. Next step was general tidying. I'm still having a battle with elder weed. It's grown around and into some shrubs- I think my only option will be to remove the plant altogether. All in all I'm pleased with my two hours labour and now I don't feel so bad about not going to the gym. I also now have a massive bag of cuttings to recycle. I could perhaps start using the composter again? I've not had much luck with those in the past- the compost just sits there. I'll have a think. Our seeds are dong well- we've planted sweet peas, larkspur, mini sweet corn and peppers. My trailing fuschia is still growing on the windowsill, I just need to find it a larger pot. Tomorrow we will be baking chocolate brownies. Currently surrounded by chocolate eggs of all descriptions but a bit more won't hurt! Vx
