Update for May 2011

Well her at 17>19 things are pretty much up to speed. Most of the sowing has been in the green house as its still not too warm here. Some of the "hungry gap" veg such as the Claytonia (below) are providing a little fresh salad.




The Good King Henry has also been usable for a few weeks. Have to say i find this a bit tough and prefer to tree as early spinach and give it a quick steaming.Will probably let this run to seed then cut down to crop again later




 The Bronze fennel has now well burst forth and is probably at its best, colour wise around now.



With things feeling under control here work has progressed at the 'lost plot' which now has a gate.  The Beekeeping course is going really well.

Update for May 2010

May, by the time my tulips are out I know I should have finished turning the plot over and the sowing and planting will be well under way.

This small patch of Honesty has been here three years now and appears to be seeding itself nicely. I have seen some of the early cabbage whites feeding on it, they seem to be oblivious to my brassica seedlings so this seems to be working as an insect atractant and sacraficial crop.

Also in full flower, and now I know spring is here , are my apple espaliers of "Greensleeves",
