Gardening Diary 🌱 — 📅 25th May 2020

After years of neglect we’ve been trying to improve and actually make use of the area of garden behind our house.

I should really have taken some ‘before’ photographs but here are a few details in pictures of progress so far.

Sun terrace 😀

Oregano bed and compost bin

Thyme planted in a rusty wheelbarrow!

Small raised beds cleared and dug over ready for planting

Greenhouse, which still definitely needs some repair, semi-tidied and an attempt at seed germination started - including basil, coriander, dill, rosemary, sage and tarragon

Rampant mint alongside the greenhouse

Chives and bay in two of the raised beds

Garage newly painted and starting to get some decoration

Buttercups flourishing alongside the garage

Meanwhile, for some rest and relaxation time, at the front of the house the weather has now been good enough to string up the hammock.

I’m an NHS doctor – and I’ve had enough of people clapping for me 🔗 — Excerpt: I work for the NHS as a doctor. I don’t work “on the frontline” because there isn’t one; I’m not in the army and we aren’t engaged in military combat. But I do work as a consultant on a ward where we have had Covid-19, and colleagues of mine have been very unwell.
