Sunshine


A beautiful sunny day, and really quite warm especially when digging. I'm still having to be careful of my back but I dug over the very front of the plot and put in two rows of first early potatoes.




The new broad beans have nearly all pushed through now, compare the plant above with last autumn planted one below.




The rhubarb is also coming on strong, the red stalks looked great in the sunlight.




The old crown rhubarb was slower to get started but has a lots of stalks and new leaves coming through, The leaves start as pink nubs pushing through the earth before they split open and the leaf unfolds.
