10/05/2017 We have been working all day in the garden. A very few late photos taken in the drizzle.

Maximum temperature 20C, minimum 4C.  18 km/h S wind 30 km/h gusts.   Rain on and off.
Mrs Blackbird (Turdus merula)...

As above...

and Mr singing merrily on the telephone line.

Iris.

Sage.

Finally cleared of grass and dug over (lots of stone!)  A few bags of manure and we can start planting.

Three large bags of broad beans!

      By the time we had podded them there was 2 kg to freeze and lots more on the plants. Thanks and have a good day Diane

      Pickling is too slow for me, just freezing is the easiest and they do freeze very well. Diane
