  • Sat and Sunday:
    In; hours of effort (!) in the sunshine, last of the spuds in, carrot and lettuce and beets sown. Bean frame up, last of the beds prepared for the year ahead. Herbs and flowers planted in the raspberry bed, rosemary and chives planted in the artichoke bed. (work hours =3 , sitting in sunshine watching birds at the feeders =14)

    Out; couple of leeks and kale for Sunday lunch. Vit D manufactured

    The best bit is I have today off so get to spend another 8 hours in the garden, working,

                out: the last of the winter lettuce. Now awaiting the products of this years labour...

                  • Lots and lots of IN... seeds, potting on, planting out, watering, earthing up, tidying up, preparation and building frames for the glasshouse tomatoes etc.

                    OUT: a slight suntan, start of the herbs and lettuces, asparagus, joy of counting newts in the pond (4?)

                    waiting for the rain to stop and I am out there again!

                      • In...brocolli, pac choy, spring onions, radishes.

                        Out..garlic chives, mixed salad leaves and radishes.

                        And when your back stops aching,
                        And your hands begin to harden.
                        You will find yourself a partner,
                        In the glory of the garden.
