Hi lincolnitess, how did you cope being out of commission all winter? That's the worst time! You must be busy trying to catch up! My spirits were revived today too after haveing a freezing cold day yesterday, it was only 4C, (40F), with wind chill of -3C!

The sun shone most of the day today although it was only 7C (45F), with very little wind it felt good and I managed to get some more cleaning up done. The dahlia bed is now nearly done, the soil with the broken down compost is good enough to eat! I had to tread down many mole runs as usual, but the soil is so friable and had few weeds, it was only a matter of clearing up some leaves and dead dahlia stems. It is a pleasure to do!
