Spring hasn't quite Sprung!

Hi everyone,

So anyone who reads this regularly will have noticed a lack of a blog post last month. There's a pretty good reason for this I promise... We've gained a new member of the team! She's very lovely but has required a lot of attention, so work has become rather neglected lately.

Meet Isla, the new team member!
I suspect work will continue to be a bit neglected for a little while longer, but hopefully if the weather ever warms up, we can at least enjoy some days out in the field. :)

Despite the UK still being miserable and cold, the birds are making nests and flowers are blooming which is helping bring smiles to our faces!

Tulips blooming in the garden
I've become very behind in planting veggies, I've only just sown some seeds, a month or two after I'd have liked. I've planted tomatoes, spinach and courgettes so far. At least we have the polytunnel now which I'll use to start the seeds off in, and it should mean the plants will survive longer into the Autumn/Winter so hopefully the late start won't be too disastrous. :)

We'll also have our long term plants, such as rhubarb and raspberries, along with the onions I planted earlier in my pregnancy, so hopefully it'll help keep my fingers green until I can get into it more again. :)

Fingers crossed for warmer, sunnier weather to come so we can all enjoy the outdoors! Have a great month everyone. :)
