Pear in blossom The sun takes it's hat off.
The broad beans were planted in November. They are just coming into flower. Busy with bees. Young silver birch on the left fruit bushes to the right. Below the beans comfrey, a good green manure. Use leaves as mulch. (they make nice fritters, dip in crispy batter mix before deep frying).
Looking back...
Looking forward...
Silver Birch,the elegant pioneer...
