Pandora was making the most of the weather early yesterday.

Also this week, mew may remember a couple of weeks ago we mentioned our veg crop plans and last week we showed mew our little pots full of seeds on a sunny windowsill.

Great news!

What's Sprouting at BBHQ ©BionicBasil® The Pet Parade 345
these are pea seedlings

The purple broccoli, peas and several others have sprouted and will be ready to be potted on soon.

On Monday we also planted some flowers too; sweet peas in 6 varieties, and nasturtiums in two varieties. Today we've got some more flower seeds to plant so we'll let mew know what they are next week.

We also did some geranium cuttings from last years plants, it may be a little early but we thought we'd have a go! MOL

The P.A. has been supurr careful recently while wurking in the garden so as not to disturb any hibernating bugs.  But this fabulous sunshine has woken them all up and they are effurywhere, yesterday she counted at least 25 ladybirds sunning themselves in various flowerbeds around the garden.

She also saw a bright yellow butterfly aka Brimstone fluttering around the courtyard, plus some solitary bees, a dragonfly and two Peacock butterflies.

So it's all happening at BBHQ!

  3. We are getting lovely weather too, at last. It is nice to see the flowers starting to come out and the insects too. We have had several of the big bumble bees doing a fly past yesterday and today.
    My Magnolia stick* is flowering too!

  4. Ladybirds! We like that name so much better than calling them lady bugs here in the USA. Purrple broccoli sounds lovely. I bet you will have a wonderpurr garden this summer. It gets very hot where we live, so growing anything much beyond tomatoes is difficult. However, our daddy is going to give it a try since germy hoomons are buying up all the fresh produce at our store. Stay safe!
