I've heard many-a-time that easter is a great time to "get those jobs in the garden done". Now I believe it. I had friends staying who have helped me get the plot ready by digging in the compost, spreading the pea straw and planting out my first vegetables. There is a strawberry plant as well as peas, broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts, onion, beetroot, garlic, english spinach, bok choi and the potatoes are almost ready to go in. I also have at home a mushroom box (yay!) and I've set a starter for bread. All very exciting and enjoyable!

The planted plot
It is lovely there in the early mornings when I go to water. The roosters are crowing and everything is damp from the overnight dew and quiet - the world around seems to disappear when I inspect the plants, excited and impatient to see what will happen, but knowing I have to wait.

I'm looking forward to eating some of this stuff in June!
