Spring Season in England
Nearly for the past six years, except the pandemic period, I am visiting UK. I had penned my travel experiences in a book, 'Englandyil 100 Natkal' (இங்கிலாந்தில் 100 நாட்கள்
While walking we could smell the grass's scent and the flowers aroma around. The green colour has a magnificent role this time. The leaves are so small in size that I guessed the chlorophyll level from.the sun reached its limit. Most flowers are very tiny. And most greens are of grass variety.
Gardening works like pruning, trimming, lawn moving, weeding, raising garden beds are done during these months. The garden waste could not be thrown on a vacant plot, land, roadside like our cities. Here the council collects the waste on every alternate weeks on the given green bag. The grass cut, plants and shrubs pruned are packed up in the garden bag and kept outside. The garden trash truck removes the waste and keeps back the garden waste bag. Its a good system indeed.
During the Winter Times, I hadn't seen insects like house fly, ants, bees, wasps, mosquitos, snails and others, which we accounted with a high hand with electric bats, repellent, trappers... But this time in Spring I noticed the insects one-by-one crawling in the garden. And the carpet beetle, the name beholds it to the carpets are not actually originate from the carpet, but it crawl from the garden into the house and well-settled in the carpets. So pesticides, insecticides are needed ones in these cold countries also. The difference is we in India, the tropical country people need these things round the year, but here in UK, they need at this period of season, as the insects themselves hived themselves inside the soil during the other seasons.
We have to note one thing here.. that there is no specific rainy period or rainy season here as in our India. So the rains would be there on any season. during this spring season the garden was sometimes wet with the 31% rain or get slushy with 65% rain.
