Says it all really! Day 2 of the Easter hols and the sun is shining. Spend Sunday in the garden, planting far too many seeds! Just got to hope that some germinate now. We went to RHS Harlow Carr on […]
The one with the new shoots
Finally time to start phone blogging properly. I’ll explain the title first…. The asparagus planted last year has started to show through the soil at last! Three spears, each around 4cm tall, so far but it’s a start. Spent yesterday […]
The one with all the courgettes
OK, so my title lies a little. They’re more marrows than courgettes! Either way, there’s a lot of them. So, this morning has been spent searching for recipes to use them in, and acquainting myself with the finer points of […]
