We on Skye are currently enjoying a super spell of spring sunshine - much needed after a another very wet winter! The air temperature is being kept in check by a chilly breeze, so coats and even scarves are still needed outside, but the sunshine is warming the soil, and the spring flowers are bursting into life. I have dug over all the allotment beds now, and am beginning to plant seeds in the hope for a better summer season of produce than last years poor results.
As is common all over the UK, it is popular to have daffodils around your garden, and we inherited quite a few bulbs when we bought the Barn. They have been undisturbed for years, and some don't flower too well, but this year, they are putting on a better show than usual. We have our fingers crossed for a sunny summer. Skye is just awesome when the sun shines!
