Bedding in

We woke to a beautiful blue sky this morning, the air was chilly as the night temperature had still been quite low, bobbing around zero degrees, but with the sun now up the air was starting to warm.

I’d bought some plants yesterday so was keen to get out and plant them, but first I needed to paint the bedroom doors. Once I got started it didn’t take too long to finish the three doors that were left. The day was so beautiful we decided to have our first lunch of the year outside, so whilst Brian got the garden furniture out I went and prepared our lunch - quiche Lorraine and quiche poireaux (leeks)

I wanted to prepare three window boxes for the front of the house, and had chosen a real assortment of colour, so fortified by lunch I got stuck in. Plants here are not cheap, however they are good quality with well developed roots, so I’m hoping with a little TLC this year they will do well.

Tomorrow we can put them in position, but for now I will ensure they are well watered and bedded in.
