We are excited to see that at last our garden is bursting into life. This is our flowering cherry, the upright type.
And altho' we're very happy to see this, we're ecstatic to see our peach and plum trees are full of blossom and we can see that they have set fruit. This year we might have a peach each, instead of sharing one and more than one plum each too!
The last few sun shiny days have been glorious and we have been out in our garden getting it straight, and enjoying ourselves.
Pelargoniums, tomatoes, cosmos and dahlias have been potted on and more cosmos seeds sown. You can never have enough cosmos! Dh has sown lettuce seeds and thinned out the carrots.
Everything in our little plastic green houses, has grown, so we're looking forward to a garden full of colour. Dh also planted the bare rooted geraniums I'd bought, altho he did plant one where we had some germinated California Poppy seeds, which are no more! Ah well, just as well I had scattered some seeds in another bed!

While I was potting on the seedlings, I listened to the audio version of 'The Women' by Kristin Hannah and it was wonderful. I heard bits of the story that I'd forgotten, when I read the book!
And I'm really enjoying my book I'm reading at the moment, by Ann Bennet.
'The Fortune Teller of Kathmandu,' not my usual choice of book, but I like a gentle read on my kindle for when I'm awake at night, (note I've said.... for when I'm awake, not If I'm awake!)
Don't you love the world when the sun shines and in the garden with Dh fills my heart with joy.

Wonderful to see the garden sprout to life. Still had 3 mornings below freezing with frozen bird baths. Also the azaleas had started to bloom. But the ones I know of are now brown. No one cared enough to cover them for a night or 2.
I'm getting happy about sunshine and seeing the yellow dreaded dandelions and the gentle violets.
It sounds like some lovely days in the garden. There's nothing better than sunshine and flowers.
I love the 'Women' book as well. I also listened to the audio version. I love multitasking with audios.
I love fruit tree blossom, it's gorgeous.
It has been lovely to have some sunny, warmer days.
I've certainly been enjoying the recent good weather.
All the best Jan
Sounds like you are going to have a beautiful garden. Oh yes, a sunny day is just perfect.
When the sun shines and the birds sing, I love being out in my garden. I spent a few hours there yesterday, planting radishes, lettuce, and carrots. Spring time is so full of hopeful life!
