Today I worked in a garden in the morning and as I am going away tomorrow, I felt the urge to get to the plot and water it and release those newly planted seeds from their dry rubble soil.
Louis cycled up as I walked with him and it makes such a difference having time to relax with him rather than rushing here there and everywhere in term time. We chatted about all sorts and Lou was a great help. We weeded and discussed the roots and we watered fine seeds with our sprinkler rose and bigger plants with a lot of water. We sowed Sweetcorn Mini Pop together, something Louis likes so he chose how much to grow. We planted two Rhubarb crowns (my birthday present from Heale!) and watered and watered. Sammy's little apple tree is coming along, into leaf now only in it's first Spring with us.
We ate shortbread and took photos and Papa and Sammy popped by for ten minutes in between.
We chatted to other plot holders and talked Dahlia's and Rhubarb and even Nigel Farage (one for HappyG) as one plot holder was going for him as a scarecrow, definately scary if you ask me.
A great way to spend a couple of hours and time alone with Lou is precious and all too rare. Walking home with him cycling, the sun warm, knowing the plot is underway again for another year, I couldn't be happier.
