Been busy...

There has been plenty going on over the last couple of weeks.

I have lots of plants coming on nicely in my little green house, mostly from seed - red cabbage, kale, black kale, brussel sprouts, delaway cabbage, broad beans, peas, dahlias, marigolds and spinach.

Out on the plot I am pleased.

The onions, garlic and strawberries are all showing good signs of life even though it has not been very warm.

The broad beans are not taking too well yet - but I am sure they will be ok. They always pull through...

I have put in some Phacelia green manure. This has germinated already and will fill a large bed until I am ready to use it for courgettes and other tenders in June.

I also put in a 14 foot row of Hurst Green Shaft peas. I had to put them in deep because  we have a mouse problem at the moment.
