Spring is Unleashing it's Potential

The cherry tree is in full bloom and if there are enough pollinators around we (or rather the birds) will have a lot of cherries to eat in June. 

The Japanese maple is slowly unfurling it's deep red leaves. 

The greenhouse is full of life.  Successful germination of lupins will hopefully mean the back hill can be covered in them. 

More Lupins!

Lemon gem marigolds at 3 weeks old!

Tomatoes should be ready for transplanting outside in a month or so.
Red currants have produced their chains of flowers.  More red currant jelly is planned for this summer.
The peas that were planted before the Easter weekend are now emerging from the cold ground.
