The rowan tree
My rowan tree was a feeble looking thing when I rescued it about ten years ago from someone's garden where it was struggling in the shade, took it home and planted it behind my shed.
It's looking much happier now.
It's looking much happier now.
Sweet cicely
I
had a heck of a job growing this. I collected the seed a few years ago from a garden I was working on, left them in a draw and forgot about them, found them again and sowed them in the coldframe the autumn before last. Finally they germinated the following spring, I potted them on and nurtured them - they seemed to reluctant to grow but eventually I got them to a size where they could be planted out. I was feeling pretty pleased with myself. I now learn that they will probably spread like wildfire and indeed are looking extremely robust and have been flowering their hearts out for a while now.
It's just as well then that I'm crazy for the smell of them and that they'll go down well with the bees and butterflies and moths. And after all it's these little triumphs that make gardening worthwhile. If it does take over the plot I may have to rethink that.

The rape looks quite pretty at this time of year
even though it is lathered in chemicals and will be desicated before it's harvested. You might want to think about that next time you're eating proccessed food.

So it goes
In case you've been hiding a stone and hadn't noticed, April has turned out to cool and wet - twice the average rainfall and colder than March. Best to keep off the soil when it's this sodden so it's just as well that there's plenty of pricking out and potting on to be getting on with in the potting shed. And the view isn't bad either.
Potting on
How it's done, just in case you're new to all this.
In the potting shed I get together the seedlings from the greenhouse to be potted on - brassicas in this case - and 9cm pots loosely filled with sieved multi-purpose compost:
I tip the module strip on it's side and gently ease out a seedling - it's easier to do this if the tray has been left unwatered for the previous 24 hours. Hopefully the seedling will have a nicely developed root system:
I make a hole with my finger in the compost...
...place the seedling in the hole, firming the compost around it and giving the pot a couple of taps on the bench to level the compost, which should be about 1cm below the rim of the pot to allow for watering:
Plants placed back in the greenhouse to grow on for a couple of weeks. They'll then go into the coldframe to harden off before being planted out.
Here's some I did earlier - cabbage plants in the coldframe nearly ready for planting out:

The brief return of winter
Last Wednesday on the plot
- the blossoming plum tree looking surprised to be surrounded by snow:
The temperature was 2 degrees - compared with 22 the previous week. Fortunately the snow didn't last long and I was able to get the new potatoes in on the traditional planting day of good friday. Since then we've had some useful rain and the climate is at least back in line with the calender. Sunshine and showers forecast for the week ahead.

Out in the country
Darley and Nutwood nature reserve on a cool and cloudy day so no sign of any butterflies - although the birds were singing and I saw the odd bumble bee.

Keep calm and carry on
Hopefully we've seen the last of the fraudulant summer, we can do without any more of that. The odd day of temperatures in the seventies in March hasn't been unusual in recent years but a week of it is right out of order. No rain of course, drought orders in the east and south east and threatened here in the east midlands. If this isn't global warming then I don't know what is.
On the plus side it's nice to see the trees greening up and the bees and blossom and it should be a good year for the butterflies.
Eating purple sprouting brocolli, carrots, scorenza and plenty of greens. I've planted out the first of the peas and sown another row direct. There's seedlings on the move in the greenhouse and the potatoes will be going in next weekend. All we need now is some rain.

Greens
The sudden high temperatures in March forced the spring cabbage to bolt and start going to seed:
Luckily I've plenty of perennial broccoli:
And one surviving spinach plant:
And Chinese mustard:
Hawthorn shoots make a tasty nibble too:

Sinfin Moor nature reserve - lots of signs of spring - trees greening up and plenty of butterflies - small tortoiseshells, peacocks and commas.

Making a start
So I've finished the digging, sown a few seeds, planted out some new strawberries. It's nice to be getting cracking again.
Butterflies!
Hard to believe there was snow on the ground just a month ago.

Purple sprouting
After the mild winter the purple sprouting broccoli is ready for picking about a month ahead of usual. It actually started producing flowering shoots in the late autumn; those first shoots got damaged by the cold but now there's plenty of side shoots ready for picking.
