Finally, Spring feels as though it is on the way. Our drive runs east west which means that the back of the house only gets the sun in the summer. The morning sun is now just beginning to creep around the corner, a phenomenon that always raises my spirits.
Yesterday I got out and finished cutting back the lavender hedge and cut off last years flowering stems on the hydrangeas, sedums, scabious and a few other alpines. There is still plenty more tidying up to do! I am hoping for a dry spell to dry out the soil a little so that I can get out and do some weeding soon.
