After the four thirteen hour days I was too tired to venture out to the allotment today.I have some sand to add to the first rectangular bed to try to aid the awful drainage problem.
There are the two smaller beds to dig over, and the first bed to properly dig.The snow has melted and the day has been overcast.
I got up late and did some spring cleaning of the house.I will take more photos tomorrow of the garden and the allotment.Plants grow better when you dont look at them for a few days.
My fav coloured flower at the moment is the Muscari. I have another ten or fifteen plants growing the grape like buds slowly.The one in the blue pot has been in flower for weeks now.I love the Blue colour with the Yellow hint on the buds end.
I have four days off to recover from work, and to get some more gardening done!

Despite being exposed early when the weather damaged its covering leaves this Muscari is developing beautiful blue and yellow buds. With the Crocuses these are my early nearly spring warning flowers!
The Ghostly Gardener had planted these in the big blue ceramic pot. Multiple spring bulbs have grown but I need to identify them once they develop flowers.
The garden looked okay this morning after eighty mile hour winds battered Wakefield and the north of England. The garden birds have been out in force this morning as I drank my last coffee before bed. Two more nights to go before I can garden again.
Its the first of March. My namesakes Saints day, patron saint of Wales.
