Finally I can show you rows of seedlings now that we have built raised beds. I’m hoping that these little green shoots will turn into parsnips, carrots, beetroot, salad leaves, American landcress and sorrel. Elsewhere in the garden we have potatoes (in tubs) spinach, green and borlotto beans, cavalo nero and broccoli. Given that we don’t have any real greenhouse type space I’ve placed an order for plug plants of tumbler tomatoes, butternut squash and sweetcorn – hopefully they’ll turn up in the next couple of weeks.

The woodland bit of the garden put on a real display this year. Above is a picture of some of the helebores and the daffs and below are my latest purchase – anenomes.
