My babies

Rain came this weekend, and now the ground feels like butter against my garden fork. All the plants are looking happier, even the babies in the greenhouse (pictured). The French beans, in the foreground, have only just popped up today. Wonderful. The sweet peas and sunflowers are progressing too. Unfortunately a squirrel has discovered the dahlia bulbs (grrr), and my chicken-wire contraption around them has something of a horse-barn-door-bolted feel to it. But never mind, the aquilegia are superb.
