Into May

There were several unworkable areas, including cosmos corner, where I had forked the ground over a couple of weeks ago but as of last Friday were still the same.  However  by Monday, after a rainy weekend, I was able to easily use a hoe to break up the lumps much to my surprise.

The onions have grown noticeably and I’ve replaced less than a handful which were still dormant, and sowed the rest of the spares.

Yesterday I noticed a couple of the first early potatoes Pentland Javelin were now just showing.

 

I haven’t sown any Poached Egg Plant (Limnanthes douglasii) seeds as the few plants last year freely self-seeded and plenty have already appeared and flowered, including the all white variety Meringue.

There was a thunderstorm early this morning, along with bursts of heavy rain, and the next few days are looking rather unsettled so I probably won’t be doing much plotting again.

Have a good weekend, and take care!
