Early Spring garden

Early Spring garden photo album now on line.

Having planted my potatoes, first broad beans and peas on the allotment in late March I'm now letting the soil warm up a bit before doing any more over there. However I thought that photos of soil covered with black fabric might be just that bit too exciting for you.

While the back garden always looks colourful in springtime,hopefully this will continue throughout the rest of the year now that I'm introducing new shrubs and flowers into the raised beds where I used to grow my veg in  pre-allotment days.

 My veggie based job today was to clean up one of the cold frames and sow red celery and leek seed.,plus some mixed onion sets (red,white and yellow ) that I got half price.

It's sort of like waiting for the starting pistol isn't it?

Yes I'm trying to resist making a false start.Have to remember how far north I am and that the Morecambe Bay micro climate is probably a myth.
Sowed some basil,cumin,parsley and dill in punnets on the window sill today as a stop gap.

Your raised beds are looking good. My ground is still too wet for potato planting so far but peas are doing well.
