The Japanese mugword and chives are growing strongly near the tall nashi pear on the cat-net-lined balcony in the full sun.

The sansho pepper has had a big hair cut, but I think it likes it with all its new little leaflets. Its pot is still covered in its winter straw and sitting against the white balcony wall, lined with cat net.

April's garden update now up for patrons, where I chat about this weekend's plans, and wonder how others deal with plant deaths - do you shrug and move on? Replace it immediately? Or take some time?
