Spring is here..

The new thingy joining the two beds, the beds are still well defined, although the stream bed is looking a tad untidy.

The start of the long awaited polytunnel - my new home - well th'spouse has his pinball shed. Still got to clear some ground for a flat-ish base. Should have a lot of seeds this year, only hope I have the energy and room to plant them.

The delphiniums are up and sprouting already, I was unsure how they would overwinter, whilst we have very sandy loam here, where some are planted it has a very high water table and the ground does stay wet in the summer, but they all seem to have made a start, I've also got a few hundred seeds just sown waiting to go in the polytunnel.
