Looking out of the patio doors onto our garden, I see nothing at the moment that would induce me to get out into the garden, even if I were fit and able! It is overcast, damp and windy. Where has spring gone? Have I missed it? Was it yesterday, when the sun was shining (although it was quite windy then as well)?
Our daffodils are still not out yet either. That may be to do with where they are planted, but still……
The pheasants are still hanging out around the bird feeder. Today there are two hens and one male. They have worked out that some seeds drop into the hebe beneath the feeder, and so they have started to jump to get to the seeds, or maybe it is to shake the seeds out of the shrub onto the ground. It is a funny sight though.
Can’t believe that the daffs aren’t out yet! What a winter you’ve had. Wrap up warm and wait for the sun to come back out.
Here the mornings are getting darker and it’s getting noticeably cooler. In our garden we’ve got chilies, lemon grass, calamondin limes (green on the outside, orange on the inside), basil, passionfruit and papaya and everything grows at an amazing rate. There’s very little to do and the ground is packed so hard that you can’t get a fork into it! I miss my Northumbrian allotment…
There are daffs out elsewhere, of course – it must be the lie of the land for ours! It all sounds very exotic in your garden in Fiji, but I can understand you missing your allotment. Imagine if you had the soil of Northumberland and the sun of Fiji………
