Last weekend I was visited by Helene, Caitlin and Tessa. First on the itinerary was a visit to the Louth Hospice garden so Caitlin (RHS Young Garden Designer of the Year) could see how it had fared over the winter. There is some work to be done on pruning the hedging plants so they start to bush out. A job for me I think.

The ladies went home with several in the boot of the car.

With some improvement in the weather by the end of the week I was outside preparing more seed beds, trimming the lawn edges (the bits piglet misses) and sowing vegetable seeds.
