I'm having to come to terms with the sad and unavoidable fact that my shack has terminal subsidence. I only realigned the lock a few days ago, and already its sticking. I'm going to have to get creative with orange baling twine.
Today I planted the rest of the pretty double snowdrops I found hidden behind my bamboo fencing. I remembered them from last year, and sure enough there they were their little faces all twinkling with the new year. They were in a large tight clump, together with some crocuses. They were so far above the soil that the bulbs were showing, and the crocuses seem to be blind. I've planted them in rings around the four apple trees, along the new path that crosses the smaller allotment, and in the new beds bordering the new front door path of the same allotment.
It was a beautiful sunny day today, just the right sort of day to send healthful wishes to the land and all the seeds that will be growing in it.
