Saturday was another fine spring day with long sunny spells and the temperature just managing to notch 20°C. This is very good for April. Unfortunately the downside to this excellent spring weather for us gardeners is that down on the plot it's really dry and all the crops could do with some rain. Parsnips and carrot seeds need to be kept moist to get them to germinate successfully so watering has become a regular job. Watering is not normally a problem in April - it is after all supposed to be the month of showers - spectacularly untrue so far this year.

The fine weather has started the duckweed growing rapidly in the pond. It's rather invasive if not kept under control. I think it's worth the effort to remove some each week as I think it sets a pond off well.
