Happy Easter from Plot 129!

Today was such a lovely day to be out. The sky was black with clouds all afternoon but it didn't rain, and the evening was warm with bursts of golden sunshine. Perfect weather for getting on with spring jobs! Today was mostly a day for weeding - the flower garden, the shallotts, the onions, and the pots. I also got a bit of edging done, so the big bed is looking tidier, and I planted raddishes and mixed lettuce in the remaining raised bed.

The birds were very active, rustling in the bushes. One particularly inquisitive wren took a good look at me in the shed, but I didn't manage to take its picture - hopefully next time!
In other wildlife news, mice have eaten nearly all of my broad bean sprouts, and made a start on the peas. I may have to give up on broad beans for this year as it is getting quite late to replant them, but I'm considering covering options for the peas.

On a positive note - the beetroot and carrots are up, and the rhubarb is ready for picking!
