Blue skies

A beautiful evening walk to Portchester Castle

 Along the coast opposite Portsmouth Harbour

 I love these grounds

 We were not alone, families and dog walkers

 A perfect way to start our evening

 Home, I do have a few flowers in the garden

 Seedlings

Tomato, cucumber and French Marigold

Lemon grass and corriander

 Last year I planted potatoes in my raised bed in the greenhouse for Christmas dinner, nothing came up and I was disappointed. But look here, there are tiny leaves near the bottom of the photo, two are now growing, so we will have new potatoes, just later than expected. 

 I have enjoyed reading this book loaned to me by a friend

 When I gave it back to her this morning, these were given to me to read. 

I am in my greenhouse each evening, my seeds are doing well, the second lots of French Marigolds are coming through. I have yellow tomatoes, the red tomato seeds have not come through, and my herbs are coming along, I have basil in a tub again. I have two lovely cucumber plants, I hope to have both growing this year. I have found homes for both my peonies, I will take them to work on Friday and pass them on.
Our garden is full of wildlife, loads of birds, I love the dawn chorus each morning, a perfect way to wake up. We have a young Robin, who's patch is the top of our garden just at the end of our decking, we spend evenings watching and chuckling at it.  We have seen a few huge bumble bee's, they are making the most of the early flowers.  Last night we had a fox on our back lawn, hubby did chase it away, they can cause damage. I have also seen signs of hedgehog activity, but as yet we have not seen the hedgehogs.
I have found time to read, but I have not done any stitching, by the time I sit down in the evenings, I want to relax, so my book calls me.
Just keeping everything crossed the weather stays and we can enjoy more outside time.
