Looking better.

Getting sorted.

After long neglect the plot is starting to come back together. I've cleared about enough room for this year's first early potatoes; Rocket, a variety new to me. No main crop this time to allow more room for summer vegetables. Tea in the flask, Rolling Stones in the earphones.

Strawberries and first early potatoes.

 The potatoes are Home Guard, a second world war variety, I think the strawberry plants were from Woolworths.

How it is looking so far...

Potatoes earthed up against the last frosts. The first broad beans are about an inch long. Small green strawberries. Peas and mange tout growing well but no flowers yet. 

Ladybirds

There have been fewer ladybirds than last year, but the cold weather may have reduced their numbers.
