Spring

Today is the first really warm day of the year here in Southern England, bright sunshine at +15C! It's incredible what a boost such a weather can give you. Here are some photos taken in the park next to my house when I enjoyed the beautiful weather outside. The daffodils and crocuses are blooming beautifully and the air has the very fragrance of spring.

Inspired by the sunshine I also washed the glass panels of the balcony and cleaned the pots to prepare it for a new urban growing season. I have some plants already propagating in small pots indoors, and I can't wait to move them outside. I have sown some seeds from the Psychedelic Salad Kit and can hopefully expect some funky looking vegetables later this year.

Enjoy the nice weather everyone!

Botanic Garden Oxford

I have been a little bit absent from the blog and Twitter due to my main internet connection being inaccessible for a few days. It was quite a refreshing break, but now I really want to write something again. This will only be a short post though, for all you flower and plant lovers out there.

A couple of weeks ago I visited the Botanic Garden in Oxford, and I want to share with you some of the photos I took in the oldest botanic garden of Britain. It's one of my favourite places, a visit there is so uplifting when you see all those wonderful plants and trees. Back then a part of the garden was closed due to flooding of the river close by, but luckily the greenhouses were open. Hopefully one day I'll manage to go to Oxford in the summer, because then the garden must be an even more magical place.

Hope you'll enjoy the impressions! ~ Your VegHog
