Bees

The bees that were swarming over the allotments yesterday finally came to rest in my hedge. A local ex-beekeeper came and caught them and put a temporary hive by the hedge to catch the remaining ones. 

      
I didn't have my van this morning and was in a bad mood so I cut down the overgrown hedge in the front garden. It took most of the morning to cut it, tidy the soil under it and weed the front hedge. I ended up with 2 great piles of twigs and branches and 2 green compost bags full of weed and small twigs. This is my happy picture because I wasn't looking forward to doing it and I'm so glad it's done.

      
After I'd done the front I had a good big chicken salad for lunch :)

Then I potted up some tomatoes and sowed some beetroot seeds. In the end a very productive day.
