Almost Spring.

Once again it was blue skies and singing birds this morning. A little frosty, -2C but pleasant enough in the sun. I did a bit more garden tidying and made a start on putting in supports for those plants that need them. I'm more of a fan of leaving everything to grow naturally, that's my excuse for not doing too much, but each year I look fondly at some of the plants forming lovely bushy growth and then the rain comes, makes everything heavy and it all flops down in a big mess. That's when I think to myself that it would have been a good idea to put in some support earlier in the year.

I cleared away all the old fennel stems which have been making interesting winter shapes, sorted out the poles I use to support them and found the first early growths peeping through. On a day like today I can believe that spring is just around the corner.
(Later) I had the first of my spinal injections this afternoon. Not too bad though I can't say I am looking forward to the next 2. Feeling rather woozy so signing off now.
