Spring definitely is here - everything is growing - fast. I have spent the past two weekends cutting grass and pruning rapidly growing bushes, 1.e. pyracantha, before they take over. The cherry is just about to blossom, and the forsythia is in full bloom. The frogspawn have now become tadpoles and the pond is alive with fish, frogs and water boatmen. I've started on the new vegetable patch and have sown tomatoes, peppers and herbs in seed trays. All we need now is warm weather and more time.
