Spring in the garden

Image
  I uploaded my monthly video to youtube yesterday but as far as I can see not much has changed in the garden. The night time temperatures have been cold and even though it has been sunny during the day, there has been a decided nip in the air. The weather is holding me up! I have so much planting out to do but it has been so chilly I've not even planted out the hardy annuals. Every morning we haul the trays of seedlings outside and then haul them back in at night.  This photo was taken a while ago, the seedlings are a lot bigger now and some climbing out of their pots. I made such a stupid mistake and planted far too many antirhinums. They are one of my favourites but you can have too many, I've given loads away but there are so many to plant now, as well as the cosmos and stock etc. I am looking forward to a very colourful summer border. Tomorrow though the weather is set to change and not for the better. The temperature will rise but it will be wet - very wet with 48 mph win
