![]() Been a nice sunny week but starting to get cooler as we get nearer to our holiday in Downderry. ![]() Cabbages have over-wintered well. ![]() Winter onions look OK. ![]() Two beds of ordinary onions looking good. ![]() Broad beans and garlic are in. ![]() The new strawberry bed is very neat and tidy and the black membrane is keeping the roots nice and warm. ![]() Some more parsnips went in today to complete the bed. ![]() Comfrey bed's had wild flower seeds scattered on it ![]() . ![]() A couple of lavender plants have also gone into the comfrey bed. ![]() Top fruit cage looks good with the two blueberry plants in tubs and the two gooseberry plants kept under control. ![]() Rest of the beds have been weeded as we're going to be away for a week and it may well be a couple of weeks or more before we get back down here. ![]() Plum trees have blossom on - hope there isn't a late frost this year; though the forecast is for the possibility of one within the next couple of days. ![]() ........ and finally, the compost just keeps increasing. Really need to have a good go at it if we have some decent weather.

![]() Planted a half-bed of parsnips this morning...... ![]() ...... and some broad beans. ![]() The overwintered garlic doesn't look very spectacular; but it's still got a couple of months to harvesting. ![]() Dug and manured the runner bean trenches. Most of the beds have been weeded and dug over now and while we're a couple of weeks or more behind with planting out, thanks to the very cold Spring, it's not actually looking too bad. ![]() As you can see by these photos the ground is remarkably dry now. The last of the snow has melted and we've had three or four days of sunshine and well over a week without any rain or snow. ![]() It's still cold; maximum of four degrees during the day and below freezing at night - and it's been like this for nearly a fortnight, but at least it's dry. ![]() Everywhere looks so much better when it's dry. There's a few weeds coming up, but not many. If the weather improves we've actually got quite a good start this year, late as it is. ![]() The new strawberry bed looks a little dry and sparse but the strawberries that are there look OK. ![]() The old strawberry bed looks in good condition and ready for something to go in there. ![]() We picked the few weedy looking parsnips that were still in their bed and also the rest of the leeks - which were pretty good considering the winter we've just had. |
