In The Garden

As well as being busy on the allotment, dealing specifically with my contaminated manure (very disheartening) I have found time to get into the garden, and what a busy bee I have been. I have had the helping hand of Mrs McGregor, so we have managed to do quite a lot in a short space of time, which is always nice.

It is incredible to find out what you can do when you have another pair of hands helping you. Mrs McGregor and I have been transplanting and using fertilisers our dormant deciduous shrubs, pruning our summer flowering shrubs and deciduous vines and fertilising the tulips as they have already flowered and watered the bulbs.

We have also had time to do some planting as well. We have managed to plant some tango lily cappuccino, daylilies and bleeding hearts.

Turning the compost pile was a lot of hard work and took quite a lot out of me, but it was a necessary job that needed to be done.

The garden is looking a lot neater than it did in the previous winter months, and seeing the tulips coming into flower is a lovely sight. Planting our new flowers has also given Mrs McGregor and myself a new burst of enthusiasm in the garden as well, knowing spring is just round the corner.
