Feeling a bit sluggish? Get yourself gardening


Ok, it's a snail but I do love a pun. 
I think I'll call him Clive. 
I have to admit that I'm normally lobbing these little guys over the wall and away from my precious plants but this one was so tiny and shiny that I've let him be.
The garden is looking good after a weekend of landscaping and muscle-crippling grunt work.  I re-set the path, weeded absolutely everywhere, gave the soil a good turn over, and planted a few new plants that are going to create a nice little rockery area.
The vegetable seeds have been sewn and have had a good start in the greenhouse, and the peas and red onions are ready to go into the ground.  My next project is going to be trying to make a support for the peas out of old branches from the garden.  More heavy duty grunt work!

Peapod Doorstop


Need something to hold the door open while the fresh Springtime air breezes through the house?
Look no further!
