This was the first weekend since buying our new composting bin that we haven’t had snow in the garden. The sun was out and it was a lovely Spring day – it was the first time in months that we’ve been able to sit outside to have a cuppa too!

It was great to get back in the garden – the compost bin was first on the list and as there were plenty of dead leaves all about it didn’t take us long to get that started and add in a few bags of kitchen waste we’ve been collecting.

I also got the secateurs out and dead-headed a few things and tidied up the herb garden.

The first of our Spring bulbs have started flowering – the snowdrops, I can’t wait for what should be a gorgeous show when they all come up – should be a veritable riot of colour.
