Spring is here, the daffodils smile nicely. I even have a minature tulip in flower as well. Yesterday, I saw a ladybird for the first time this year. My goosegogs/currants/raspberry plants are bursting into leaf. I popped to the plot yesterday to set up a couple of corrugated cloche things to warm the soil up. The garlic shoots are popping through, and a few radish have germinated. Not much else has been happening on the plot. The other plotters on the site have put in the spuds, planted new fruit/currant/berry bushes, sown peas… I had some shallots and garlic left over from the plot session a fortnight back, and these have now extended my husband's herb patch in the garden! I started Lady Christl and Rocket in large pots in the greenhouse as well yesterday. Have sown lots of seeds in pots/modules. Roll on next month when the more delicate things can be started. Have I got room for my giant tree tomatoes that grow 10-18ft tall?
