H is For ....

"Hardening off" in this case some lettuce that is on my windowsill by night and outside by day. 

While I was outside I spotted these "Hellebores" looking magnificent.

We are not doing much in the way of vegetables in our garden this year as most of the edible produce will be grown down at the allotment or lottery as Pete calls it.    We are doing early potatoes which are peeking out ready to be covered over again later today.

Finally the Elephant Garlic is starting to look garlicky, I can't wait for them to flower!

DIGGING IN THE DIRT

Plot No 17 has been ours for a whole week now and this little spade has been used a whole lot

We've dug some soil here

and here

we have sat eating chocolate in the beautiful sunshine


we even still have a few leeks left waiting to be pulled but for the time being we are digging around them and leaving them in peace.

WHO'S GARDEN WAS THIS

On Monday we got the keys to this place - Plot No 17

As you can see it is VERY overgrown and is going to take a lot of hard work to get in order.


We started digging and look what we found on the 2nd day!

It made some lovely Leek and Potato Soup.
