Gardening - or how to break your back and enjoy it

A little more work done today.

Planted the lawn seeds. Didn't read the instructions on the box... so it was done a bit differently, but fingers crossed, some grass will grow.
The berry bushes are sprouting!

Strawberry pots! Planted a week ago, they are looking very handsome. The pots are fixed to this metal shelf unit by means of clamp ties through the bottom holes of the pots around the metal wires of the shelves. They are well secured!

First plant bed to be filled with earth. The garden is a bit low and get damp very easily if it rains. So we're adding more earth to the beds to lift them up a bit. It's hard work, carrying those carts full of earth. Go Dustin! 7 carts, if my memory serves me right, plus one full of wood chips for the entrance of the garden.

The greenhouse is home to a few sprouting buds of kale, paprika, cucumber, lettuce and parsley. Soon to go in the ground!

These beautiful crocuses were in full bloom last week, and gone today. Sign that spring is full steam ahead! Next year they will sprout through the grass. If the grass planting works, that is. Wish me luck!
