Month in Pictures - April Blitz

Most of this months pictures were the result of one weekend’s endeavours.

Month In Pictures - February

Progress report for February. The weather was remarkably mild and I enjoyed a good few sunny weekends on the plot. The peach was planted and tentatively pruned to within an inch of it’s life. Paths and a seed bed were constructed in a fashion. The Hellebore flowered beautifully and provided a lovely welcome to all [...]
