On our return from France we found that the garden had decided to put on a bit of a show for us. Plants that were still in bud when we left have burst forth, much appreciating the recent rains and warm temperatures.
Also things are taking shape in the allotment. Yesterday we bought home a good haul from our autumn planted brassicas
We have here sprouting broccoli, pak choy, chard and two cabbages which were a bit slug damaged but I picked through carefully and we had one with dinner last night. Can’t really get much fresher. We picked some onions which are suffering from the dry winter and spring, as they are starting to put out seed. So whilst we won’t get to store them we can at least enjoy them. The broad beans are podding up, peas heading up their sticks, strawberries putting forth berries and all the seedlings and potatoes seem to be doing fine. We have beans, corn and squash plants to go in over the next week then we can hopefully just keep on top of the weeds and watch things grow. And of course enjoy the fruits of our labours.
