Should you really have to do this to keep warm ? Here we both are, late 60's, worked all our lives and now cannot afford to put the heating on. Simon cuts wood a couple of times a week and he has kept us all warm this winter, Our stove is lit first thing and gets the house toasty, the room usually over 70 degrees in the evening. All the wood is free from our son (joiner) or a very kind neighbour who we trade wood for veg in the summer !
Wild white violets just flowering
Tomato and pepper plants coming on nicely in the greenhouse, they are now double that size
Snowdrops from earlier in the spring
About 30 buckets of potatoes at the bottom of the garden, that are growing ! Can't wait to eat them with lurpak and salt ! There is a full bed of them aswell......we won't go hungry !

Keeping guard in the sun
Simon loves to grow ornamental, specialist daffodils which we have in the house each year in spring. I have had a good 20 pots of them dotted around the house. They might look beautiful but some are very heavily scented, not good for the old hay fever ! But they do look stunning.
Greenhouse coming into life.....it's been a long old winter and this new growth is such a welcome sight
Primula denticulata - we have a few and they all look stunning
All our spring planters are just starting to look good so I will photograph them all next sunny day
Whoa.....best not stray too far from the car, looks like the end of the world
Beautiful spring blossom
