Well it's been a long time since my last post (sorry!) but I've finally decided it's time to get back in the blogging saddle. So here I am...

| Seeds starting in the greenhouse at home. |
The weather has finally decided to pick up, gone are the days of rain and snow (it really was a crazy spring). With this change in weather, I've been heading round to the allotment to start the digging and preparation for this years seeds. Currently I have kale, cabbage, tomatoes, peppers and a couple of sweetcorn plants growing in the greenhouse. Some mixed leaf salad and spring onions are happily growing in a container at home and we have a new raised bed at the allotment with garlic (winter), carrots, parsnips and lettuces planted.
At the moment we're working on getting a patch cleared next to the peas to put our potatoes and onions in; they're ready to plant now but the bad spring has meant we've gotten rather behind! We've also decided to try be a little more experimental this year and have got some yellow carrots, purple sprouts, Jersey walking stick kale and yellow courgettes to try.
Can't wait till its time to start harvesting some veg, we ate the last of the purple sprouting for dinner this week!
Oh, and I've also started baking!
