It’s March and following the equinox on the 20th, many people now say it is officially spring! The nights are lighter, the
days brighter and air a little warmer. I’ve even started to hang washing out on
the line so it must be warm!!
For many, and if budget allows, we start to think about
holidays, school breaks and enjoying the outdoors. This year things will be low
budget for us and we plan to have some time away in our little old bargain caravan!
We also plan to have a lot of time out in the garden and hope
to spend some time entertaining friends and having a tipple or two! Every year
we say we are going to make use of our garden and keep it weed free and well
maintained but we never do! Now, with a four year old to entertain we’re
finally acting like proper grownups and have made an early start. As mentioned in my
Prepare Your Winter Garden For Spring post, we’ve cleaned and spruced, jet washed
and scrubbed, weeded and cutback and planted seeds and bulbs. We still have some
maintenance to do and, if I can get it cheap enough, I’d like some comfortable garden
furniture but we are almost there.
