Spring is finally here...

A lack of colour..., a photo by Craig Richardson on Flickr.

Its only a month or so late...

We're finally getting some spring weather. William and I have been out in the garden getting a few things planted - the onions seem to have taken well, but no sign yet of the potatoes and carrots. The sunflowers are planted, and the tomato seeds are just coming up. The herbs are also doing well, but that's a subject for a future post...

The dwarf narcissi have been a mixed success. I planted a few varieties in a pattern, thinking I'd get a nice range of colours. But while some are flowering gorgeously, others are only just coming up and the whole thing looks a bit sad really. Will have to pull them up when I get that bit of the lawn re-turfed and try again next year!

[About the photo - macro lens and tripod, with an aperture of f/9 - still not quite happy with the depth of field though...]
