<p class="has-drop-cap has-normal-font-size">The weather during April has been very good. There have been frosts in the morning and the days aren't particularly warm but 12<sup>0</sup>C is the right temperature for working in the garden when the sun is shining.</p>

<p>Weeding along the drive and through the tree lined walk is a never ending task and the longer I leave it the worse it becomes. Now the vegetable plot is looking tidy this area of the garden will be my focus over the coming days (and weeks).</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap has-normal-font-size">This is the start of my piece of land and I'm making progress in clearing it of weeds.</p>

<p>The grass is also looking good. With Piglet cutting around the house this is the only grass that I have to cut.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap has-normal-font-size">In amongst the trees there are clumps of bluebells in flower. This whole area of the garden is planted with hundreds of bulbs - snowdrops, daffodils and fritillaria so I have to be careful when weeding. Thankfully the soil is very light due to many years of leaves covering it and so pulling weeds isn't too difficult.</p>

<p>The area has changed in what will grow here since the holly trees were removed. More light reaches the lower levels and so more plants (and weeds) thrive.</p>
