As the
beginning of April approaches two thirds of spring has already passed
and mother earth is very much awake. Everything is
coming to life in the gardens.

Broad Beans |
Broad
beans that were sown in loo roll tubes and peas sown in recycled
yogurt pots in February and kept in the poly tunnel, have been
planted out into the vegetable beds.
The
vegetable beds were mulched with home made compost and covered with hay
in the autumn and left for the worms etc. to turn
the garden over ready to plant straight into, so no digging needed.

Peas - March 2019 |
The
early potatoes have been planted. A
hole was made, the potato was popped in, then the potato bed is covered in hay. This method of growing potatoes worked well last
year, again no digging.
Fine sunny
weather is promised for the week end so planting out sweet peas that
have been started off in the greenhouse is on the to do list along
with mulching the flower beds.
Leaving you with a few
photos taken today
Until next
time
Blessings
to all
