First seeds in the ground!

Well, at the end of this weekend this is the stage I am up to:

• Onions all planted (160 or so)
• First carrots in the ground along with some early spring onions
• Strawberries weeded and new plants added (see below) - although some plants look dead I am hoping some tlc will keep them alive.
• New soft fruit bed dug and raspberries, gooseberries planted with a blackcurrant waiting to go in - still need to think of a way of netting, will prob use old tent poles
• Middle bed all dug over and  waiting for rotavating

Was a lovely day today, and the first T-Shirt day I have had down there for a while.  Still got a fair bit of tidying etc to do but we are getting there.  The best bit is that No 1 son (5 years old) loves it and spent around 3 hours with me today just digging and playing.  It also makes him eat more fruit and veg as when he grows and picks it he wants to eat it a well.  No 2 son also enjoys it (3) and No 3 (1 and a bit) doesn't have much option!

Now the evenings are lighter I will hopefully get down at least once each week.  Looking forward to the first rhubarb of the season - prob going to be the first crop this year.
