Garden springing into life

The past couple of weeks have been busy in the garden.

The lawn had its first mow and the moss problem in the shady border needed some work. Raking and aerating the affected area should improve the situation.

Now the soil is starting to warm up it is time to start planting in the vegetable patch. Onions, peas, lettuce, sprouts and spinach have all been started off in the shelter of the greenhouse.

The first batch of onions and peas have been planted out. Lettuce have been thinned out and some have gone into pots on the patio, whilst others remain in the greenhouse.

To protect from birds I made netting from recycled fruit nets.

The garden is springing into life, with blossom budding and spring bulbs blooming.
