We all went down after lunch today as the weather was so lovely. Daddy dug out the remaining bed up near the raspberries and apple trees so that is now ready for planting the broad bean (Sutton Dwarf), and the early pea (Hurst Greenshaft) which we are hoping to do in the next week.
Henry & Mummy planted a row of Lollo Rossa lettuce, Countess F1 parsnip and the free trial radish we got from Marshalls seeds (Radish MSC 7695 - Yellow Radish) in Henry's bed. Then in this years 'Roots' bed we planted one row of Countess F1 parsnip, and in the end of the bed with the red onions and shallots in we planted one row of Tirza F1 spinach.
All of the fruit trees are starting to bud and produce leaves which is lovely to see. And the blueberry might look slightly more lively than last time we were there ! Fingers crossed. There are 8 spring cabbage and they are starting to get a bit fuller now as the weather improves a bit.
Henry and I are hoping to go down sometime after school this week to plant the early potatoes (Accent & Anya), one row of Hurst Greenshaft peas and one row of Sutton broad beans.
