Spring is here

Spring has finally arrived.  It rained every day in September except one right at the end.  But October has started with the promise of a Summer coming.  It has been fine for five whole days.  I have managed to put in a total of seven small gardens now and do some other tiding up jobs outside.

It makes me smile every time I walk (or drive as most of the gardens are alongside my long driveway) past them.  Lots of seeds still to come up but I've got growing:
Raspberries
Strawberries
Peas
Carrots
Garlic
Lettuce
Radish
Beetroot
Broccoli
Potatoes
Onions
Cabbage
Cauliflower
Celery
Cherry Tomatoes
Grapes
Blackcurrents
Boysenberries
Plums
Apples
Fejoias
Apricots
Citrus
Blueberries
Herbs
and Guavas

Doesn't look like much in the gardens, they are still mostly weeds but it feels great to look at a list like that.
