Watering

Having (finally) had some warm weather, we had to water the pots tonight, and the fruit and vegetables. We took the irrigation system's sprinklers off last autumn (expecting a winter where there was snowfall and freezing temperatures!), so first I've had to reattach them. I only did the vegetable garden's, as the fruit ones are a bit more involved, and the bushes are less susceptible to drying out, as they have better established roots. The extension to the irrigation system, to cover the rhubarb and second strawberry bed, still needs completing, which is on the to-do list. The currants, gooseberries, and raspberries are all looking really good, and we'll hopefully have a large crop of them all. The fruit trees, old and new, are all now in leaf, and some of them are flowering. The quince, plums and cherries aren't, yet, but they're a bit later. They've all been watered, too, as trees need a bit of extra help in their first year.
