a taste of things to come


We've picked our first forced rhubarb today

first peas in flower

Over-wintered onions and garlic

Over-wintered chard

Over-wintered broad beans

We've already planted over 1000 potatoes!!, broadcast various seeds all over the remaining pig meadow,( incidentally everything is coming up, albeit in clumps, but that's fine). I also threw millions of sunflower seeds on to the pig meadow, I'd saved them thinking the chickens would like them, they didn't. So i'll have another massive crop this year.

I've sown parsnip (three varieties), spring onion (white lisbon), 3 varieties of carrots and 2 of beetroot. All the plants on the veranda are now awaiting transportation to the farm, hardening off and planting out. I can't wait!!!!!
