I was moving my seedlings into the sunshine the other day and noticed the front garden was full of flying insects. When they come out in force you know the weather is definitely on a turn for the better. BBQs and Pimms here we come! So this weeks post is

The sunshine yesterday was absolutely glorious! Everything looked so colourful and green, I even went for a walk in a t-shirt a lunchtime. This weeks garden updates is all about beautiful light shining down on our garden. I'm really glad the hyssop came back. I gave it a
