First swifts
Planted out sweet peas, brussels and cabbages . Dianthus and dahlias moved to coldframe. Potted on antirrhinums and rudbekias. Lovely growing weather, apple tree blossom is coming out, saw the first swifts over the site. Harvested the last leeks and broccoli spears - eating the leaves now!

Cracking on
Did some pricking out and potting up, planted out main crop spuds and sowed another row of peas. Dug and mucked trenches for runner beans and sweet peas. Sowed some annuals outside. Busy potting on for a little while most evenings - brassicas, lettuce, flowers. Spring days: everything leafing up, little birds dashing about, the light!
