Happy Spring!

A gardening week just flew by!

Now it's Friday! NL Doet weekend!
NL Doet is a National initiative to get folk volunteering!

At Buitenzorg we'll be planting...

...and planting!!

I'm out of pancake mix! So, I took a trip

to the Windmill in Soest yesterday.

A "Spring is in the air" feeling kind of day!

Then stopped in at Vaarderhoogt Garden Centre.

Gardens are out, more Garden Centre is in!

More room for plants?

Remember this?
It's now at the allotment!

I think a great big Hosta would look great!

Maybe the slugs will stay away?!

One mans junk is another mans treasure!

Lighter earlier! Lighter longer!

Added a thermometer at the allotment this morning.

Will be nice to know how warm the summer days get!
These seeds as well as groceries came home in the rain!

After two days of sunny cold weather spreading

organic( stinky) fertilizer in gardens...

...the warmer weather and rain can now do the work!

Looking forward to smelling lovely results !

Hosta Study Day in Wageningen

Signs of Spring this frosty morning!

Here's one to ponder over!

I thought I would recycle this, give it a new use!

It will soon be filled with plants. But here's the catch:

They'll have to have names of newspapers or magazines!

So far I have Time (thyme) and The Sun (sunflower)!

To the allotment !
Placed the 4 poles!

Hung a few artifacts!

I found these when I first started digging here

in Sept 2009. A bit of inspiration!

When I rounded the corner at Buitenzorg

this was shining in the sun! A lightbulb moment!

The music was missing as I stood and stared!

A perfect planter for a Hosta!

But where to put it!

Dutch Tiles in Cross Stitch!
A wall hanging
found at the Kringloop!

Handmade years ago.

Now washed, ironed and ready .

Ready for a new life in a new project!
