Frogspawn now growing and fattening nicely, some moving out into the unknown and exploring the larger expanse of water.
Gorse coming into flower, though many of the bushes have suffered over the winter with some deaths....
Roses have, also, been damaged by snow and wind, one at least has given up.
The daffodils, still yellow, are mostly fading, whilst the two cowslips are blooming nicely.
The meadow orchid is beginning to show, but we still don't understand why there is only the one plant.
Onions, potatoes, carrots, courgettes, runner beans and sweetcorn planted.
54 patches of grass removed to expose the earth ready for loosening before the saplings (mentioned elsewhere) arrive.
All the trees are in leaf, except the oak and the ash.......
Oh ! and the bat has been flitting around during the evening, and a large wind turbine now spoils one of our viewpoints
(one of six that we missed at the planning stage!)
