Baby apricots! There are considerably less than last year, but the tree is still young so I guess it's understandable. 🌱

The warm Spring weather means that the roses are thriving again at the countryside plot... These four are the first to bloom, although there are a couple others that aren't far behind. 🌹🌱

A collection of roses: white, white with bright pink edges, bright orange/salmon and pale pink/violet.

I didn't know that walking stick fact! And yes, I definitely need a ladder to harvest the leaves at the top now. 🙈

That does sound on point! He blends in so well with the colors of the old bamboo cane...

I understand that! I usually don't mind spiders as long as they are not too big (this one was about 1cm), but I run the other way whenever a wasp appears. 🙈 And thank you! I still can't believe it has gotten this big... I had another variety for three years and it didn't come close.

The eyes are right there in the center so I assumed. 😉

Our kale 'tree' is now over 2.5m tall and full of flowers... For reference: the roof is at about 2.2m. Also, is it just me or does this spider I found hanging out with the calendula really have an incredibly sad face? 🥺🕷🌱

I decided to celebrate the arrival of Spring by preparing this fruit custard tart... Hopefully the next one will be with strawberries and raspberries from the garden. 🤞🌱

Custard tart topped with strawberries, kiwi and peach.
