Always a joy to see a squirrel here . We so rarely see them . She is enjoying some peanuts .We can see teats on her tummy and she is a little plump . I think she may be expecting or maybe even have a litter of kittens somewhere close by . 🤍
It is so cold today. The sun is shining but the wind is bitterly cold . I did get a load of washing dry on the line though , which makes me very happy .
Potatoes in Tubs - update 🌿
For quite a while , I thought that nothing was coming up ; but wow look at them today !
Time to earth them up ! I'm not completely covering them .
This will do for now.
I will probably give them another layer or two before harvesting them .
The children will be doing this and learning about where their food comes from .

Other news - It's just been full on , with bringing on the tomatoes , sweet peppers and cucumbers , picking the lettuce and baby kale leaves for salads .
Potting up some lovely new Hostas and getting things ready to move the tomato plants and maybe the Sweet Peppers into the greenhouse .
I need to make room to start sowing sweetcorn , courgettes , butternuts and beans in the shed . It is all go now !
No time for embroidery .....note to self " make time for me ...yes ME tomorrow .
Epimedium x perralchicum
The pretty Epimediums are flowering and I am splitting a few up . I want more !
Pretty red heart shaped leaves , spread by underground rhizomes .The dainty flowers last such a long time .
First buds of the year appearing on the Epiphyllum ! And a Monstera delicosa that I rescued from someone giving free stuff away on their drive ! Goodness me that pot was so heavy and the plant about six feet long . I had a job getting it all into the car .
It is now in the greenhouse on the side where all my shade loving , rain forest Epies , ferns and jungly plants are .
🌿🌿☀️ Very happy plant and very happy me ! ☺️🌿🌿🌿
Musa ensete maurelii are still undercover , I have started to give them a little rain water . I will drag these out and plant them up next month , depending on the weather .
Musa basjoo is the more hardy one , planted outside . Mine is only a baby but seems to have come through the winter . No pic...I'll show you tomorrow !
I shall leave you with a photograph of some of my lovely Cowslips .
Weather - ☀️ It's been sunny , blustery and blinking cold ! ❄️
