It was Easter bank holiday when we first planted out the vegetable patch properly. Some garlic had gone in the ground some months earlier, before Christmas, but it was only on 4 April that we sowed the onions, potatoes and rhubarb. It was amazing how quickly they started sprouting, and now, just 6 weeks later, they are really flourishing.
Seizing the opportunity of a beautiful sunny day, we spent the morning planting out some lettuce and parsley baby plants that by mother grew from seed and gave to me in a wooden wine crate a few weeks ago.
