Out and about

Weekend 17 & 18 March

This week's weather has been a very mixed bag. It has been bitterly cold despite the frequent sunshine. Gale force winds, especially during the night, have battered the daffodils and we have had showers of snow and hail.

Weekend 24 and 25 March

Last full weekend in March. The weekend was warm and sunny - well that is how I remember it.

On the plot

Weekend 31 March

The rest of March was very mixed, many mornings were foggy but as the fog lifted the sun came out to give us lovely weather in the afternoon. Towards the end of the week we had lots of rain.

Just in case we have a sudden freeze we have moved some frogspawn into a bowl in the greenhouse to try and ensure that at least some make it into froghood. We intended to film their development so watch out for that.

For the first time a heron has been spotted in our garden so I hope the fish lie low. It was quite a large bird to see perched on a garden fence.

The photos below, were taken during the March 2007. The weather was very varied, we had gale force winds, rain, sleet, snow, hail and some sunshine. On many days it was bitterly cold. The site is continuing to look good. Daffodils, early tulips and even some tubs of primroses add colour to the plots. The pussy willow is in flower too. This is unfortunate for Jazz as the small trees that he had been nurturing thinking that they were apricots (grown from stones), turned out to be pussy willows. He has to break the news to the plotters that he gave them to! Many plotters are busy digging and some planting has been done. Tom our latest addition is making a great start on his brand new plot. I have had to guess some of the plot numbers maybe we need little door number plaques!!! Even the plot holders don't remember their numbers so please don't blame me too much if I have got yours wrong but I am sort of getting familiar with the numbers.
