Despite all

   The sun continues to shine! Despite CV-19 work continues in the garden. Much has germinated in the poly tunnel. I pleased that I have cabbage and basil growing. Both are quite often problematic to grow from seed although they should not be. The tomatoes are probably not a good as I would like but there are plenty of plants growing so I am hopeful that I will have enough although not of the variety I would have liked. I have been picking the purple sprouting and freezing it with the hope that I can extend the period of harvesting. So far so good! I have finally got round to weeding my Egyptian (walking onions) bed. Must have been over a year since they were done last. More of the usual taska...mowing grass and cleaning out chickens who continue to lay well and I am becoming overwhelmed with eggs. Better too many than not enough I guess! 
   Easter is here and our annual easter egg hunt has been conducted by the grand children. Some strange sites around the garden.....
