Busy days...

... and dare I say it, but it was actually warm today. I have been to the plot this week, twice already. The broad beans that I started back at the start of March really needed to go out, but with all that snow and then cold soil to follow, I had to wait. They are in now, about thirty plants in all.

I checked up on them today and there were no signs at all of slug damage. Last year my young broad beans were tortured by slugs. I wonder has the late, harsh snow and cold killed off a few slugs... maybe a silver lining? ?

Along with the beans, I did some mild weeding and today,  in some quite warm sunshine, I was able to put out a good few lettuces. It is nice to finally have some young plants on the plot!!

Here's to many more warm days!
