I’ve started a vegetable garden, something I wanted to do last year but never got around to though. Two weeks ago I planted some herbs, the normal sort of stuff, two types of parsley, chives, bronze fennel, thyme and sage. I’ve now sown carrots, radishes and two types of beetroot. On Friday night I planted 18 asparagus crowns and ran out of ground I’ve still got three more to put in.
Asparagus has to be my favorite vegetable and I’ve always wanted my own asparagus patch but never had the opportunity. I only hope it takes! We had a hard frost last night, the ground was white when I got up this morning, not good for the seedlings.
I’ve also got a few courgette plants in doors and some butternut squash too. This means courgette flowers during the summer – fantastic!
I have plans to get more planting doen this week all being well although in reality it’s probably still a bit too cold out there. It may be sunny and bright but there is still a slightly sharp edge to the wind, Willie reckons we are about a month behind in the garden at the moment, its true the daffs are still strong when they would normally have died off by now, even the wild garlic has not flowered yet and it is normally over by now.
