The year is not so new now. Back in January not too much was happening at the plot. Cold stopped play frequently but was picturesque.
Most of the effort was reserved for sorting out saved seed for swapping and planning for the year ahead.
Warmer days allowed the pruning of my fruit, espaliered apple "Sunset" above and year old Blackcurrant "Ben Alder" below to progress steadily.
When my daughter drew my attention to the Robin over the garage this wasn't what i expected to see.
