Home Guard


Planted a row of first earlies, (cup of tea included to give scale). The variety is home guard, this was introduced in 1942 and became a staple of the war years.

Picked some rhubarb and the first asparagus spears. There are flowers on the strawberry plants, so I finished weeding the bed; I'll add some fertiliser when enough rain is forecast to wash it in.
