The sunshine came and with it came the flowers. The garden is slowly but surely creeping inwards. I always forget that all those brown patches get filled with green. I'm spending every spare second planting, water, snipping and weeding. Who wants to go to work when heaven is in your back garden.

But of course the warmth brings the slugs & snails and after dark I sneak around my little garden armed with a torch and a pot of salty water. I'm not sure what the neighbours think with me in my pink wellies and dressing gown.
