Growing in 2021

I've just managed to sow some cress on the windowsill...

Broad beans in tray under fleece at plot - saves mice getting at them and I only plant out what grows; same with peas. Herbs on the windowsill at home - more garlic chives and hopefully orange scented thyme. The cape gooseberries have just decided to put in an appearance. Time to go up plot today to finish moving the defunct kale to the compost bins.

Broad beans - that one type of seed Lidl don't do, and that's the only place I've been to so far where to buy them!

What I call the yellow season has started. Crocus first, daffodils now, and dandelions and gorse all over the place.

I'm still hoping to pick a portion or two of my kale. It was entirely chomped down by some unseen bugs last year, but then surprised me by sprouting out again.

Yep that's the way with kale. However mine was showing signs of going to flower so anything that regrew would have been tough.

Weather!

What's it like where you are? I suppose I'm not the only one battling with snow storms... Typical April weather: blizzard one minute, sunshine the next.

Fortunately, due to me not having done anything much in the garden yet, I haven't lost anything apart from daffodils.

Snowing here, right now. Fortunately, I went to the shop this morning in full sun.
