The aforementioned seedlings, waiting for May, when they can go out in the garden

My squash seedlings were wilting in the unseasonable heat, so I fed them some of the compost tea @emsenn told me how to make, and I have never seen anything like the recovery. Wow! Happy plants :)

That stuff looks and smells despicable but it just goes to show that you really can't judge by appearances ;)

Free propagator; one mushroom carton stood on top of the other. I melted holes in the top one with a heated skewer.

Does anyone know what this is? Unfortunately, I don't think it's chickweed. The flower seems to have rounder, fewer petals, and the leaves are more serrated

Does anyone know what this is, growing wild in my lawn? It looks a bit like chickweed but I don't think it is.

Planted wild garlic/Ramson bulbs today - scattered through all the different areas of various degrees of shade in the garden in the hopes that they find one they can be happy in. Fingers crossed they establish *somewhere*.

Also found my first bee of the year, happily foraging around the lungwort.

Things are waking up in the garden. Found this lovely violet in the lawn

Surprised to see the lungwort is flowering already!

I had to tear out by hand a pyrocantha bush which was also growing on top of the weed suppressant membrane. Now I need to go back and clear a space where I can replant it in actual soil.

On the positive side, my apricot tree is blooming! #gardening, #florespondence

OMG my back! So, I am now pulling ivy out of the ground down the side passage, because there's a lot of good planting space down there, and it turns out that the 50cm deep tangled mass of ivy roots covering the ground is growing ON TOP OF (and through) a layer of weed suppressant membrane.

I only went out to plant a hazelnut tree and now my spine aches. Who needs pilates or weightlifting? When this passage is fully plantable again, my core strength is going to be off the charts. #gardening, #florespondence
