SPRING

The start of Spring and although there’s been a frost this morning, the sun is shining birds are singing and the garden is awakening.  Plenty of cheerful bright flowers and new growth on trees and shrubs to help take our mind of what is happening in the wider world.

 

My priority this year will be the vegetable garden – a case of necessity I think!    The raised beds have been covered in black weed suppressing fabric so are warming up nicely.   I’ve already planted seed potatoes and garlic and direct sown parnsip, carrot, beetroot and spinach seeds.    Broad beans and lettuce are germinating in the greenhouse.  My aim this year is to get to grips with successional sowing, a reminder on the calendar every couple of weeks should help!
