It's fairly unpleasant to be working outside, but the stronger sunlight through the glass in the conservatory tells us exactly what to be doing today. We took everthing outside and then got to work with a broom and soapy water inside the glass roof and windows. Then rinsed all off with the pressure washer. Then scrubbed the floor tiles and vacuumed up with the wet-and-dry. Now you can see out the glass and see that spring is on the way. The lawn outside the conservatory is dotted all over with Crocus tommasinianus. Most shrubs are starting to slowly slowly show their new leaves.
We removed the 30 yr old Chasselas dore de Fontainebleau, and will be replacing it with a new seedless Lakemount grape planted outside the glass and coming in underneath, as before. This year's hanging begonia will be Million Kisses Amour, a valentine from Corbie. Bright red this time, it'll be placed up in the leguminous tree to look as if it is dripping with tropical red blossoms.
