A wonderful day in my Garden

The lovely warm dry weather today allowed me to have a wonderful day in my garden. I harvested the last of the sprouts, stripped the plants and composted the unusable parts of the plants. This year the sprout harvest has been very poor for me and for most of my friends locally as well. Ah well, you can’ win them all.

It has been an excellent year for cabbages and potatoes and we are still picking leeks straight from the deep beds. Onions are also doing pretty well although they are not ready yet.

I have new potatoes chitting in my window sill but it is early days yet.

It is great to see the spring bulbs pocking their heads up.

Most of my time over the winter has been spent with my volunteer driving for Dial a ride and FSS and adding content to the What’s on in the Forest of Dean site and Gloucester Events.

I shall continue with the events sites as they both get good traffic, but as the spring comes on as usual I shall be spending more time in my garden.

I am retired and you can se more about me here
