ladybird ladybird

I noticed there were 'loads' of ladybirds today, all crawling away especially in this plant (which I'm not sure what it is) it was lovely to see them.

I have not had anytime recently to update my Blog. I did some work on the 1st Match and took some pictures so here they are. Since my plot is full of clay, I decided to dig a trench and fill it with cow manure and plant my chitted potatoes. My plan is rather than dig the whole plot and incorporate manure on the plot (which is a lot!) to use trenches and plant potatoes to mix the soil and improve the soil structure. Having gardened in clay for 3 years now, it is a nightmare.

The picture here are 'charlottes' an early variety. I have other varieties of potatoe to plant and I hope to do them when I have time.









While I was working away digging the trench a robin was singing away on a tree. I manage to get a picture though you can't see him clearly.

Later I heard these 'honking' noises and to my surprise a skein of geeese flew by and landed in the pond.

It was a lovely day to work and I hope to get more done this month.
