Heaven is Now

The jasmine and vines are now in full bloom and much else besides. So many roses! The magnolia will be flowering soon.

I made a stone wall and a raised bed for tomatoes, peppers and basil seedlings. That was fun. It is for my neighbours.

I painted the big window in the sitting room and got rid of the big table which I usually dumped stuff on. I think it's an improvement. 

The chickens love to eat the blossoms of the jasmine. As soon as they come out of their pen in the morning they run to the climber and jump up and snap off the flowers. 

I would say life is pretty sweet right now. I harvested the garlic. Some of the bulbs are as big as my fist! The onions also did well. Broad beans a-plenty. Peas almost ready. Carrots coming. Potatoes flowering. Tomatoes beginning to fruit. Like I say, pretty sweet.
