The bed Lydia and me seeded with wild flowers last Sunday. What you see growing is of course the weeds.
Almond flowers. Will enjoy these as long as they grow.

Not sure which tree this is, the apple? the pear? the cherry? I think it is the cherry!

A dandelion?

A big snail. I also saw the first butterfly, a cabbage white. And the first humblebee of the year.

Blossom
Vreeken
Today, Wednesday, i went to Dordrecht to the shop Vreeken.
I got a few seeds for flowers. Two different sorts of calendula, one packet for edible flowers and one with many wild flowers.
My main goal was to buy a good gardening book. I asked the people in the garden and the book Handboek Ecologisch Tuinieren (Handbook Ecological Gardening) was recommended. The bible! It is a hefty book and i haven’t read a line, but it sure does feel like a good book to have and learn from.
I took the train on my way there and i went back on the boat, with the Waterbus. It was raining the whole time. But still, it was good sitting on the boat and watching all the factories and houses on the Merwede. Lovely.
