Green shoots


The first green shoots of next years broad beans are coming through. Good to see something growing again. The Aqua Dulce beans are planted in autumn and always get a good head start despite the cold wet weather.


The cabbages look okay but are still far too small to be worth eating, I'm not sure if or when they'll bulk up. The broccoli looks as if it's about to start sprouting, despite their netting protection the birds have already been getting at the leaves.
