Spring shoots

This morning, on my way back from the compost heap, I noticed little knobs of green in the earth as the bluebells push their way into the sunlight. Looking around at the only bed I've planted anything in, I saw a whole row of young plants - green shoots about four inches tall that I hadn't noticed before because I just hadn't looked. We have garlic!


Garlic shoots! And some weeds too, but never mind them

Of course it's only January and, as Ian said this morning, "Winter's probably going to come back and bite us on the bum," but today the weather is mild and the first things I planted are growing strongly. Today feels like spring.

I don't know why Facebook thinks this is the most interesting text on the page - it's not, I assure you!

If you'd like to leave a comment, but it asks you to "Comment as" a load of options that don't relate to you, choose "Name/URL". You can type in your name and leave the URL blank.
