February progress at Hill top farm
February 21, 2014
I'm Way behind on my winter jobs. - There's normally loads of frosty days when i've got time in the mornings, if not all day to finish up finances, sort seeds and catalogue camera shots. This year, no frost that's lasted past 9am.
The result
No winter jobs, but we're well into the Spring weeding. The perennial bed, - all 250 square metres of it is clear of weed, and thickly mulched.
there are lots of beds of overwintered Annuals coming along very nicely - (and some like the Cerinthe have done rather too well, - lots of thinning out there needed)
There are flowers starting to show, - Again some of these are putting in an appearance too early.
Although it hasn' all been rosy, - there are always things sent to try us.
Having caught a whole famly of mice - 8 of them (we hope that's the whole family) we may now be able to plant the sweet peas safely this weekend. It's too late for my crocus, and several rows of the Anemones.
Soon it will be time to start planting seeds, and the 2014 season will start again in earnest. -
Winter jobs........ - There's always next Winter.
