Första riktiga varma vårdagen (ca 18 grader vid lunchtid) - då tar jag på mig regnställ och gummistövlar...
The first really warm day of spring (about 18 degrees Centrigrade at noon) - I put on my rain gear and rubber boots ... In five hours, I wash both the terrace and other stuff with the high pressure wash.
Man måste tvätta allting efteråt...
Have you thought about how dirty everything gets when you wash with a high pressure?
You have to wash everything again afterwards...
My Cercidiphyllum japonicum 'Pendulum' is about to knock out. It is very sensitive for drought so I am pleased that it survived the winter. Apparently it appreciated the root watering I offered last summer when it was so hot.
First small Tortoiseshell this spring! I saw a brimstone too, but it would not pose for the picture.
Helleborus' Blue Lady '- newly purchased beauty

Det här fotot blir bra att ha till hösten när jag ska gräva ner fler lökar. Jag ser precis var det saknas. Men det hade jag knappast kommit ihåg då utan fotot...
This photo will come in handy for the autumn when I will dig more bulbs. I can see the missing spots. But I'd hardly remember at the time, if I don't have the photo ...
It seems that all my fish have survived the winter. The oldest 5 golden ides has passed three winters in the pond now. There are also two equally old gold fish, 8 younger goldfish, 4 golden ides which I put in last summer and so the golden ide frys from last year - they have grown up really much! They are so fast, so they are impossible to count and it could be 14, or 15 or maybe 16 ... The pond is in great need of cleaning - so I do that. The water is warmer than I thought. Going for over an hour with both arms under the surface and picking up the old parts of plants, algae and other dirt is quite ok.
But the water becomes dirty from my walking and digging. It will clear itself again after a few hours. Now I have also started the filter again.
And the waterfall! How I have missed the sound of it!
Some of the dirt from the pond came on (the newly washed) terrace. It was yummy for white wagtail ...
Both the garden furniture and barbecue in place - now it's spring!
The first dip in the lake, also today. Not for me, but for the dog ...
Hur har ni utnyttjat denna underbart varma härliga vårdag?
How have you used this wonderful warm lovely spring day?
