Was meant to post this days ago but have had to cover at work as the chap that I work with had heart problems and he is still in hospital waiting for his op.
We went to the plot early last Sunday ( 8.30 ) was a bit chilly but the sun was shining and we had the place to ourselves. Saw the blue tit still busy in and out of the nest box, the robin box is still vacant though. Planted some new herbs that we got from Coolings but bought the wrong type of mint so will go back at Easter to get some apple mint.
Took some fennel home and added it to some fish for lunch. Last year I read that if you carve out the middle of a beetroot and put in a daffodil bulb then you will get pink flowers. I tried it but they are nowhere to bee seen, I must be really gullible or perhaps I read it on the first of April.
Put in some carrots and leeks which were on seed tapes, never tried them before but it was certainly a lot easier and will not need as much thinning. Have tapes with beetroot seeds but have not put them in yet.
The cut and come lettuce and radish are both showing as are the broad beans which are under cloches which I bought from poundland, and as long as they are tethered so the wind does not get them seem like a bargain buy.
