I'm sure I've said before, that May is my favourite month of the year. I do love to see the wild flowers, the magnolia trees and all the apple and cherry blossom. The birds are singing and the fledglings begin to appear. For me, it is such an uplifting time of the year, and with summer still to come...
The crops I planted a while back, are steadily growing. Especially the potatoes, which are doing really well. I am so pleased about that, as I am not a very good gardener.
Last week I made some carrot and corriander soup with the corriander I planted. And hopefully I'll be able to use my own carrots next time.
my potatoes are growing!
As for birds, well today we saw a Kestrel from our garden. We watched it being mobbed by a magpie and a crow! Poor thing tried to return, but the crow wasn't having it, and chased him right over our garden and down towards the Lough. I doubt we'll see him again, but his appearance today, means my garden bird list is now at 41!
I found this Van Morrison song on YouTube earlier. I don't think it will be there for long, as you only find cover versions of his songs on there these days. It's one of my favourites - so enjoy it while you can.......
