Busy Easter weekend, M was doing the hard graft as usual and I was bannished to the garden due to the large amount of painting and therefore VOCs. M's sister came along to help which was great, so we did make progress getting the woodwork glossed upstairs and on the porch and getting radiators hung. The nursery and master bedroom are pretty much ready to go for carpet, but a discovery in the back bedroom has set us back by a few weeks as we will need to get the plasterers in again.

As I said, I spent most of the long sunny weekend in the garden which was a real pleasure and so I think it is about time for a gardening update. Things are kicking off in both the greenhouse and in the garden. Growing lots of seedlings in the greenhouse, tomatoes, marigolds, sweetpeas and cucumber seedlings are all coming up and looking so full of life.

In the garden, M's fig is looking really healthy after being repotted, the blueberries are in blossom, stuff is coming up in the beds, peas, beans, garlic, its all so full of promise.
