Its Easter, so as the weather has been fairly good for the past few days, I got out into the veg garden to do some much needed weeding, and planting. The day started with clearing the weeds, lots and lots and lots of them. (Note to self: clear weeds all year round) I dug in loads of compost and organic material, giving the vegetable  a nice growing medium. I’ve cut down on the potato varieties I’m growing this year too Maris piper and Desiree. Just main crop, as we had far too many earlies last year.

I’ve planted the onion sets, four types, and the garlic. It’s getting a little late for the garlic, but it was cheap, so I thought I’d give it a go anyway. I forced the Rhubarb and it’s growing nicely. The strawberry plants were moved a few weeks back, and I’m very pleased that they have taken to their new home surrounding the Gooseberry bushes.

Bring on summer.
