May
After the coldest April since records began - having frosts every night and no rain (but lots of sunshine),
the weather has at last broken - and all us gardeners and plants are happy -
things are growing and playing catchup for lost time!
We are mowing, growing, planting out, punting on the moat to get brambles and other unwanted greenery off the moat walls,
constructing, watering, weeding...
We hope to have a spectacular sunflower display this year, and a very colourful potager.

June
We've gone from cold nights to rather hot hot hot sweltering days!
The plants are loving the weather, and we are eating copious amounts of rhubarb, salady things and radishes.
The sunflowers are all planted and we have lost surprisingly few to the slugs and other odd reasons.
Most of the potager is planted (celeriac, cabbages, kohl rabi, beans and peas, squashes, sweetcorn, beetroot, potatoes...
The mowing is now happening a lot and the compost area is very active.
We are focussing on watering and weeding
Bring on the summer!
