Today has been a beautiful sunny day, if not terribly warm. I spent a lot of the afternoon in the Magic Garden and Ben spent most of his day out with me. I sowed broad beans (dwarf Sutton) in front of the curly kale and covered them to hopefully stop them being dug out by Ben or others. I moved most of the fruit in pots along the side of the garden to start creating some space on the patio.

Ben has enjoyed the sunshine. I did go for a longish walk but otherwise it has been a day at home. I never seem to have enough time to do all I want though or get all the plants into the garden or the seeds sown. It was rather wonderful to have my washing dry on the line today - it will smell of fresh air and spring

The sun has made my pulsatilla open out and the bumble bees seemed to be particularly attracted to it. I think I will have to get more of these as it has really cheered up the little ‘rock’ garden for spring.
