Happy New Year !!!

The lull between Xmas and New Year is for me time to reflect on the year that's nearly over and make a few plans for the coming year........................

Over the last few months life has been busy in the country with plenty of house keeping in the garden making sure every thing was just right for our Open Garden Week..........
                                                          
                                  
                                    The Roses put on a show, this ones called Wedding Day.

 No late heavy frosts so this year we should enjoy lots of fruit..................... peaches,nectarines, cherries,apples and mulberries.                                                                                                               

Planting of seeds then nurturing and planting of seedlings into the kitchen garden ....... keeping our fingers crossed for a bumper crop of tomatoes !!!!

Already zucchini.......lettuce....leeks.....spring onions..... basil......dill and rhubarb.

                                                                        
                                And plenty of Garlic to cook up a Storm .........
                                                                           
Happy New Year to all, health and happiness for 2013.............oh and a little bit of rain...................
