Growing season upon us once more!

Wow It's March already!! When did that happen? One minute it is February, cold drizzly and depressing. The next it is March, warm sunny Sundays, longer days and daffodils abund... So today after celebrating a birthday in the family, I sprung outside to clean out the chickens (long overdue), and then in the spirit of outdoor cleaning, I tidied and swept out the greenhouse in preparation for the many seedlings soon to be planted.

Yesterday whilst out and about I went and bought my seeds for this year. I am branching out into more vegetables. So in addition the carrots, potatoes, peas, runner beans, garlic, onions, leeks, brussels and parsnips (and tomatoes in the greenhouse) I am also going to grow this year: beetroot, butternut squash, patty mix squashes, beetroot, swede, fennel, asparagus, rhubarb, rocket, perpetual spinach, kale, cabbage and some spring onions...

I love the stirrings of spring - bring on the growing season!!!!
