I spent the entire time out in the garden working on the herb bed to get everything in before the rain forecast for this week. Having 70F (sorry, I'm old school when it comes to temperature!) of sunshine was very lovely and relaxing!

We had a touch of hail on Saturday, that's how cold it was! Hope you get the promised warm Easter! xxCarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11317388242574705433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8983898767534428385.post-73268996375957419072019-04-15T09:39:59.525+01:002019-04-15T09:39:59.525+01:00Thank you, Flighty - I do love this time of year w...Thank you, Flighty - I do love this time of year when everything is bursting into life!

The mild urban climate means I can overwinter colour in my garden from established bulbs, biennials and perennials but your garden will catch up quickly I'm sure!

A bitterly cold wind here today Caro so no gardening here although I did go to a plant fair :) Like you I'm hoping to get on with some serious seed sowing later this week and will be buying some new sun protection cream.

I redid the herb bed a couple of years ago and haven't had any in the garden since - must remedy that this season.<br /><br />I'm itching to see some blooms in the garden - or even some green shooting up from the ground...a lot of patience is required this year! At least I have a lot of green under the lights in my basement :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.com
