I have my seed
potatoes on the window sill and you can see their eyes emerging everyday a
little bit more.
The manure heap has been spread
on a lot of the plots.
The garlic from the local
supermarket was planted at the weekend in the kitchen garden. I started it of
in the greenhouse first, it is an experiment. I went to use it for a bolognaise
sauce to find it had already sprouted so I thought I would give it a go to see
if it would grow. The kale is still growing
strong and although the family are not big fans. I always add small amounts
into casseroles and pies. It is lovely if shredded up small in an omelette. Any
more recipes would be much appreciated and greatly received. The chickens adore
it and it is quite funny to watch them if you hold it in the air they jump for
it. I do believe it has all the best nutrients and they say birds and animals
know what is good for them.
The purple sprouting broccoli is just about ready and is so tasty we
even eat it raw. It has a nutty flavour and looks so pretty.
