Wow! Something’s happened over the last couple of days. We’ve had quite a bit of Summery sunshine, plus some rain at night, and all of a sudden the greenery has come to life. When I took Gizmo to the Ponderosa today, the little wooded bits which had been pretty much flat and brown since last autumn were suddenly three-dimensional and green, a plethora of plant species poking their heads up and vying for space. At the same time, you can feel the plant life in the air, it’s thick with it.

For a while now, I’ve been meaning to keep some note of the seasonal changes around here, mainly so that (in theory at least) I can look back in the future and see how things compare to previous years, and also hopefully get some idea of planting times for the allotment.
Well, when I was walking Gizmo yesterday I noticed, for the first time this year, some purple weed (I’ll try to identify it tomorrow) and forget-me-not growing alonside the allotments. Meanwhile, the main crop of daffodils seem to have started dying, all the plain yellow ones are looking a bit manky and only the narcissi seem to be still going strong.
