Long weekends with good weather mean...

...we have a good lie-in and take our coffee in the garden in the sunshine. BECAUSE NOW WE CAN.

I guess this makes us grown-ups, now

We're so excited we can hardly stand it. There are, for the record, four more chairs because one day we'll be able to have other people over, again.

In other news, things are happening.

Best Neighbour gave us a couple of strawberry plants, and they're really starting to go! They're two different types (I have no idea what, though) and one of them looks like this:

Grow, little strawberry! Grow!

Furthermore, I think I have the beginnings of a potato from the random ones I shoved in a pot, a while back. Y'all...this "put things in dirt, get food" thing is really exciting!

Is that a potato? I hope it's a potato.

An important discovery, this morning is the things we have in the starter trays are actually starting to grow! Tomatoes are showing signs of life, and the courgette, as you might expect, are making an effort.

Goth Farmer's Easter handiwork

Will six courgette plants be too many, d'you think?

The background demonstrates the work that Farmer Goth put in, this morning: moving one of the rosemary plants to live directly in the planter, the bay tree to live in the pot previously inhabited by the rosemary, and a nice splash of water for everybody. In other Easter Sunday news, this - we hope - will keep the cats from pooping in our lovely garden beds. 

Lions: 1; Christians Cats: 0

We were also able to get a delivery of compost via a friend who's local garden centre was open but not delivering themselves (we have Most Excellent friends and neighbours), so this upcoming week will be even more fun! Stay tuned for Farmer Goth Builds Some Crates!

This won't be enough, but it's a start
