Left in a bag of general purpose granular fertilizer for the winter, the copper has grown an array of bright crystals that are various shades of blue, white and purple, the fertilizer has been thrown on the garden in anticipation of a few days rain and warming temperatures, the water butt used mainly for washing down the stable yard is empty for the first time this year. Collected more rubble for the driveway, the current pile being given away is quite large so the owner has offered to deliver it on a tipper truck which would be great. A frosty start to a lovely sunny day, the first time this year that I’ve been too hot working in the garden and had to change into shorts and a polo shirt for a few hours.
