Howdy to you all! I hope your gardening week has gone effectively. My veg patch is filling up steadily as all these seeds I sowed so hopefully again in the beginning of March below cowl have miraculously germinated and grown (why do I all the time discover this such a shock?) sufficient to make their means by my ersatz coldframe setup and into the bottom outside. In the meantime direct-sown seedlings are popping up throughout too, as are the weeds, and it’s feeling like I’m within the thick of it once more. Like it.

So right here we’re very practically in Could already! That is truly my all-time favorite month of the yr. I do have a birthday to have fun (no, actually, thanks, you’re too sort, and no I’m not telling you the place I’m as much as in years as a result of on the within I’ve by no means acquired a lot previous the early 30s and I’m preserving it that means). However that’s not why.

It’s as a result of that is the month when all the chances are as a lot in your favour as they’re ever going to be within the backyard. The climate is sort; the droughts are just a few months off but, the frosts have (largely) lifted, the soil is warming quick and when the solar does come out you get these pretty, balmy, lengthy days of Goldilocks perfection when every part is good. There hasn’t been time for any severe setbacks but, crops want solely the slightest encouragement to develop like mad, and every part is promise.
