Garden treats and surprises

Peas.

Freebie crate from our local recycling centre which is now filled with chive seeds as the chickens decided they loved my others!!

A wonderful surprise hidden at the back of the garden....redcurrants growing through from a neighbours plant.

Chamomile growing in the grass (yes it is a bit long but I bent the lawnmower blade and I'm waiting for hubby to straighten it again).

Fabulous, rich compost - £1 a bag at our local recycling/council centre.

I forgot to show you these in March, but they are actually sweet violets growing in the garden - another wonderful surprise.

I LOVE roses, and this one is a stunner. It's huge and blousy and smells absolutely divine.

A couple of snails full of the joys of spring ;o).

And the same for the chickens ;o).

And my poor strawberries that the chickens destroyed. I managed to save 10 of plants, although there was hardly any plant left, and look at them now. There's not much plant but they are all heaving with strawberries.

Don't forget my little give-away to celebrate over 500 blog posts. Just leave a comment, and you can spread the word if you like.

Blissfully exhausted...

....after a fair few hours in the garden. Wild garlic soup with a chunk of buttered bread followed by lots of tidying and weeding. The strawberries have lovely green strawberries on them and the raspberries that came from my Nan's have just got some flower buds on too.

JJ trying out a more natural sunscreen!

The lawnmowers working at full pelt ;-).

I've got the doilies sewn onto the front of the bags and I've got a couple of cards half made. Lots of tidying up done in the house too! Hope everyone else is enjoying themselves xx
