How wonderful to experience our first real spring day. The garden is waking up from the long winter and every day there is something new to see. I spent almost the entire day outside today with a small amount of guilt that I should have been inside weaving. There is lots of weeding to do and small fine weeds are appearing fast amongst the vegetables. The grape vines are beginning to bud and I need to get up on the ladder to take off a few long canes. The potato garden is looking good so today I dug over another square meter and planted some Kestrel potatoes, a nice flavorsome waxy variety. This is the last month to plant Broad Beans so I have planted them amongst the new potatoes. The Globe Artichokes are making some large leaves so I cut them back and used them along with buckets full of poppy seedlings to mulch the potatoes. So wonderful to spend a good day outside for a change!
