The fruit trees are coming into blossom. The picture shows the greengage in front with the plum tree behind.
The flowers are very pretty.
and there are lots of them. I should remember this year to thin the fruit so that the branches don't break as they did last year. The good thing is that the trees are still in good health it seems.
The blueberries are also flowering.
I removed some more of the Leylandii hedge to allow the redcurrants more space to grow into.
Next weekend will be the first meal of asparagus!
I have been harvesting more PSB
and leeks.
The seeds are sprouting in the greenhouse. These are the radish and kohlrabi.
I also sowed some chillies, the seeds were taken from last year's harvest which I dry out and can use throughout the year.
The tomatoes and basil I sowed have germinated nicely on the windowsill but I'll leave them there until they show the true leaves.
I planted the onion sets (golden ball) and potted up some strawberry runners that had rooted and I had missed. I can give these away to friends.
I replaced the sieve with a coarser mesh in my home made compost sieving contraption. I don't need it to be so fine and I ended up returning much of it to the compost bin. Maybe I don 't need to sieve it at all but it does improve the soil nicely.
