Growth in the Garden

A bit warmer, but just a bit. Temperature +10, cloudy, but also sunny, but cold wind.

A couple of hours in the allotment plot. More pruning of Hydrangeas as they grow. We hadn't time to do anything else. To the grocery shop, back home to the dinner, a nap. Then my physiotherapy. Soon the time. That's this day.

This plant is a creeping navelwort or blue-eyed-Mary (Omphalodes verna), perennial. It grows by the porch of ours in the garden, beside the small, decorative red windmill that I got from a friend into the cottage we once had in the country. As you see it is in the need of new paint, but it also gives a beautiful country romantic impression, doesn't it. The spider that came out of its hide-out in the mill, may be a wolf spider, looks like that.
