May has arrived, and along with it the first of the seedlings have sprouted. Infact only the lollo rosso haven't sprouted, but that may be due to the seeds being several years old! We may have to get some more.
Elsewhere in the garden it's looking distinctly green, despite the building site. Okay, so there are plenty of weeds adding to the green but at it makes a pleasant change to mud! The nettles and brambles are less welcome, and they are something that has had yet another thinning out session today as I slashed and burnt my way through yet more of the bramble patch. Nice to find several apple tree saplings and even candleabra primula growing up between the brambles.
Meanwhile there's been some progress in the house this week with the arrival of the plumber, so we now have some pipework installed. There's a load more yet to be fitted but at the rate at which he's worked over the first 3 days of being on site things should move on very quickly. Let's hope so!
