I almost thought I had abandoned this blog (too busy, too otherwise occupied, too many TV series to watch on DVD after the kids are in bed) but I was so chuffed to pick all of the above today that I had to keep a record of it somewhere! We've also got harvestable leeks, parsley, coriander, radishes and so much self-sown lettuces that I am pulling them out whole to throw to the chooks and there is still plenty to spare. The beetroot, carrot and parsnips are getting bigger and the first sowing of broad beans are poking their heads up out of the soil.
I am feeling especially chuffed when a year ago we didn't even have the chooks yet and it still looked like this:
It's good to take the time to remember, particularly when I am feeling that going back to work this year has meant so much less time spent in the garden. Luckily the chooks keep working for me here and the plentiful sun, rain and unseasonable warmth this May means things just keep on growing!
