Good Friday...

Greetings!

Yes its Easter weekend. Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday off. Pip is off down to his house in the South of France and 20 degrees of sun.....jealous? Ruddy right I am as we all freeze here. Having said that it's not been so bad. Cold yes but there's been some sun and no rain ....thank God.

The girls seem to be settling in....we've had a dozen or so eggs which is pretty good considering. They love snails....cant find enough of them. One chook is really quite friendly. The others are still a bit standoffish...but what the hell...they're chickens!

On the Plot front...rhubarb comming along nicely and onions are...well...onions.

In the greenhouse...peas and broad beans doing well. Leuttce , cabbage, sprouts, beets, flowers all comming up.

I put in two trays of dwarf and french beans some caullies and cucamellons and a coupple of other bits and pieces. It's all still a bit cold and so I'm not sowing outdoors yet. The season is obviously going to be very late this year and so I think it's wise to wait.

Keep on keeping on!
