After a very warm month of April

Spring has come as early to the Lynnside garden as elsewhere in the country.
Graham has worked hard, tidying raised beds. The first early potatoes are already showing above ground.
A spectacular clump of Mecanopsis Sheldonii or Blue Poppies brings a splash of colour to the green patch at the bottom. A wee strim will keep weeds in check.
Dry branches from trimmed trees may present a wee bit of an obstacle to not-so-welcome intruders. The place presents other hazards, such as shards of broken glass still coming out of the ground although massive amounts of rubbish have been cleared already. Not surprising, really, as for some forty years the plot served as an inofficial dumping ground for neighbours' waste.
