Spring is sprung

At last Spring is here-managed to get the potatoes in the ground over Easter. I've got tomato/cucumbers/aubergines and peppers sprouting in the greenhouse.

Won't be long until I can get seeds straight into the ground and about time too.

The strawberry plants are coming on and the perennial herbs such as oregano, thyme and lemon balm as well as rosemary are all doing well but I'm a bit concerned about the olive tree. I think the frost has hit it hard but the small trunk still has green life under the bark so there is hope!

I'm still using leeks that I had in the freezer from last years harvest as well as parsnips and onions. I have black kale and spinach growing in the garden and there are chillis in the freezer so all in all we're still pretty self sufficient. Won't be long until the salad leaves are ready so I can stop buying those awful plastic bags of leaves from the supermarket :-)
