I didn't think it was so cold whilst I was sat watching the telly last night, so I didn't check the weather. Consequently I drew back the curtains this morning & was faced with a lovely sunny & frosty morning.
Needless to say I hadn't made the correct preparations. Like closing the cold frame & covering the spuds.
I got to the plot & saw the damage - half of the dahlias & all the spuds were looking dark & limp & sloppy.
note to self - pay attention to the weather until June.
On a much more positive note though, the swallows are back - it was April last year - just a week later this year. I wasn't paying attention & one dive-bombed me. I did a little whoop & luckily I had my camera with me to record the day properly.
I particularly like it when I'm at the potting bench & they sit on the ridge of the shed & chatter away to each other - it's such a Summery sound.
I would have got a lot more done today, but a big chunk of the day was just spent stood in the middle of the plot watching them swoop & dive.
It's nearly time to get the beans in to grow up the pergola. I can't wait until I've got some beans because I saw Hugh F W make a really tasty curry with some on telly the other night, & then i went to the shops & saw the price of the beans. Hugh's really tasty curry will have to wait a few weeks.
