strange weather part 2

April and early May were cold, so the garden has been very slow but the last two weeks has been very dry and warm; now we need a decent drop of rain to help things along.
That said the polytunnel has given us asparagus and strawberries and tons of salad leaves

What weather

I'm begining to lose patience with the weather, we have had the coldest wettest winter since I have lived in Wales! We've run out of firewood for the very first time and things that we've planted have either not germinated or been eaten by mice or somesuch. Enough already!

Even wetter

After last night's rain the garden is even wetter and much more sticky :(

No more snow

Hurrah, the snow has all melted, now the garden is a welly sucking quagmire! There was a vixen happily running around the back garden as we were eating breakfast, she looked very hungry so I don't think we'll let the chickens out today :(
