Climbing Mt Crocus

This bee looked very weary when he was climbing up the stem of the crocus. I feel the same tonight as I have been out in the garden for 5 hours today. First day of proper gardening - digging,edging, clearing up all the winter debris and most importantly sprinkling hot Madras curry powder on all my tubs. The badgers have got used to the hot chilli powder and are digging in the tubs again. Hopefully they will find this hot curry a little too hot for their liking.
