Everything in the garden ....

 

...

Is looking more than lovely after some really nice touches by the gardeners last Thursday.  It was quite a hive of activity with everyone set to by ‘the boss’.

I have really enjoyed playing around with seedlings which are now getting quite big and some have needed transplanting into larger pots.

Some have been identified by garden crew because I got them all mixed up.  The beetroots were east (if you have seen them before) as the leaves are tinged red around the edge (and have reddish roots).

The courgettes are the most exciting after last year’s mishap.  They look like they are getting buds already.  

Tomatoes and celery are looking good with tomatoes showing signs of flowers.  The runners and garden peas are going to need some more patience as they are being a bit slow.

Now the flowers have been moved to the fence area I feel the hard work and help is showing great results. Irrigation will be in place by early May which will make the watering job so much easier.

There has been a lot of work carried out on the lemon grove behind the house, and the strimming has made all the difference.

Weed killer to go down next week and then the whole cycle starts again.  Even the fields around the house have had their tidy up plough.


So, it has all come together and I am so happy.  Especially with restrictions and the virus, we can be in our own little piece of Cyprus without going mad.

Church of England Easter this weekend and Greek Orthodox Easter around the corner, what ever your belief, stay calm, safe and happy.
