Diary of a weekend gardener

Spring - for an hour or two

With bright sunshine and almost 12C several bulbs decided to strut their stuff. Two sets of iris reticulata opened up (or similar), one purple, the other a dark carmine. No idea what their names are. Several clumps of white crocuses also did their bit.

Had a bit of a weeding session and also decided to try and stop the polytunnel temperature from plummeting at night by stuffing some of the gaps with fleece. Hopefully the gap between the green and maroon lines on the temperature graph will be a little wider tonight.
