May diary and photo round!

These photographs were taken on May 29 2008 - May has been a bit of a mixed bag really. We had late frosts during the second half of the month that caught out those who had been tempted into planting out tender plants a little too early for our part of the world. Then we had strong winds just as the trees had leafed up, giving them and the young plants on the plot a battering. We also had several days of rain at the end of the month and also some really hot and sunny days. The combination has kick started the plants into a growth spurt -unfortunately the weeds are making the most of the conditions too! The day when the photographs were taken was a lovely day. It was mid week (I thought that I had better grab some photos before it rained again) during the bank holiday week and school holidays so there isn't much evidence of people activity. However over the month plenty of work has gone in to getting the plots in shape. We are losing the bare earth look! Still hoping for a good summer!
