A busy day in the garden . . .

Not really sure what to write today! Been out in the garden all day, taken down the temporary plastic greenhouse. now we have table and chairs back on the . . . . Patio? . . . .  Terrace? . . . . . Yard? . . . . .Is there really a good word that describes the paved bit outside the backdoor in a suburban garden where you keep your table and chairs and occasionally (depending on the summer) eat burnt bits of meat from the barbeque. Patio sounds 70’s. Terrace sounds too grand. Yard now sounds american. What is the word?

Anyway, everything is now out! Hope there’s no more frosts!

Still a bit too early to report on anything exotic. So what took my eye was the Marsh Marigolds starting to bloom around the pond. I went to take a photo of them for this blog but instead found a rather appealing frog posing next to them. I’m afraid the photo completely misses out the flowers but is not bad as a frog shot and does, at least, show some Marsh Marigold leaves.

I hope to improve on this blogging lark but apart from being in the garden today, I’ve been uploading photos to Flickr from our recent trip to Chateau mMagimix in France. I might (might), in a later post, inform you of such things as Wine Chaps and the necessity of Verglas Frequent.

There are tons of photos of the 2009 Chateau Magimix trip on Flickr.

So . . . . here’s the frog shot:
