My Garden has declared it's Spring !
These are photo's I took around the garden today. I guess it must be Spring ! The little Viola below has made it all through the terrible Winter and is blooming as though it's summer. The heather is beautiful this year and surrounds my Buddha. The little tete a tete Narcissus was a surprise, I don't remember putting them there, but I may have emptied a pot last year and planted them, I certainly don't recall them being there before. The forsythia is always a welcome sight each Spring and is right outside my kitchen window and has a bright yellow double "Kerria" beside it. The "Tartiflette" I cooked last night was delicious, I took some step by step pictures and will post it soon with the recipe. You may like to try it as it's filling especially with a salad.

I love the heather behind the budda. So beautiful.
Pam, I really think it is here, the signs are everywhere. I daresay we will get a few more frosts though, so we have to be vigilant for a few more weeks.
I started this blog in November 2008. I didn't know where it would go or even if I would keep at it. But here I am now into April 2014 and still blogging and enjoying it. I still remember the excitement when I got my first comment, and now I even have followers, amazing !! I also follow and read a lot of brillient blogs and have made some lovely friends in the blogging world.
It's also very useful keeping a diary about my allotment and it serves as a personal record of my achievements and of my failures. In fact when I re-read some of my older entries it makes me wonder how I managed back then to find the time to get the allotment plot up to the planting and growing stage, but I did and I grew a great variety of vegetables and fruit in my first year, and it's just got better.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with the golden and silver light The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...

Thank you Daphne. I love Heathers they can be so useful for colour in the garden even in the winter.
Lovely pictures, Maureen. Do you think we can say Spring is really here? I really do hope so.
