I've been busy in the garden when I get a chance (in between rain and hail) and it's coming along really well.
I got this lot of plants this morning, ready to plant out over the weekend. I am going to put them into the existing gardens and fill them up and then will get on to digging some more.
The fruit trees are all waking up and in flower. This is a good shot of the plum tree's new shoots.
We've got bulbs coming up that were planted by the last owner. Some of them are really interesting. Like this one, any ideas what it is?
I've finished down the side of the house finally. I edged with pavers, fed the soil with compost, manure and seaweed, then planted and mulched. It will be great once it is established. It's close to the back door, gets all the morning and midday sun and is protected by the house from the horrible south winds.
We are getting some more fruit trees over the next couple of weeks and I want to start the garden at the very back of the yard.

The plan is to put in sunflowers, corn, tomatoes, peas (for green manure) and melons. I am going to make traditional rectangular garden beds using the pavers for edging.
We got the pavers free from up the road. We had to pull them up but it was worth the effort to have them to use around the place.
