Catching up...

Last week I must admit I suffered a bit of burnout....and really couldn't face the computer or the internet world much. But taking the week break and keeping myself busy otherwise has done a world of good and now I am back, revitalised and ready to face a new week!


On Friday we had some beautiful spring weather, it really was quite hot. I used this opportunity to finally get my beds going in the garden, and just in time too, as it poured with rain on Saturday and Sunday - hopefully this will jump-start my garden into full growth mode!
So far I have planted: Carrots, radish and salad. I will be planting, fennel, leeks, cucumbers and marrows shortly.
Oh yes and those plants that are in the bed already - potatoes from last season :D
These are my mom-in-laws beds, as you can see she will be growing beans, and her lettuce (which is wonderful to eat) is already ready to be devoured!


I will be starting a plant box on my balcony for my tomatoes and herbs, will take a picture once it is done.


Have you started your gardens yet? If so, what will you be planting / have you planted?


Well must be off, am making "Mothers Day" lunch for Mom-in-law today so I better get going! Hope all you moms out there had a super day yesterday! I did, got spoilt with many cups of tea and coffee, and a gorgeous handmade card from Jassy - was wonderful!

      It was thanks. Yes the alps are gorgeous, I don't appreciate them as much as I should!

      Thanks for visiting.
