Spring in the garden

Well, spring has really sprung and the garden is looking very lush. Bluebells, daffs and hellebores have all been lovely. The shreddings from the trees we had cut down in autumn are being used all over the garden (although the pile doesn't seem to be getting any smaller. I wonder is neighbours are sneaking in at night and adding to it....)
Some good news on the wildlife front. We have seen no squirrels recently but have heard that a neighbour is trapping and killing them. So well done to her - she deserves a medal.
I have started growing some veg from seed but am pretty relaxed about it. If they grow, they grow and if they don't I will go to Sainsburys. Gone are the days when I actually wept when my carrots were all demolished overnight by slugs. Life is too short to worry about garden pests.
So roll on the summer!
