Everything is Shooting Up, Including The Weeds

Things are certainly in a growing mood but although the sun is shining there is a north easterly wind cooling things down and it still possible to get a frost so trying to hold back on the more tender things
I sowed carrots this year by broadcasting them over a foot wide area they are coming up with most just getting the real leaves but they are hard to see as the weeds are doing well there too and I am afraid of disturbing the carrot roots while removing the weeds

The parsnips that were chitted on a paper towel and and then grown on in root-trainers are looking good, worth all the fiddling around I think

The front garden has changed again with alium and granniebonnets adding colour

It is living up to being called a wildlife garden!we watched the sparrows teach their chicks how to feed off greenfly on the R.rugosa but only managed to snap mum

Also watched a frog over several hours just sitting on a stone managed to get this pic before he jumped in among the many tadpoles

The Greenhouse is Filling Up

Have been busy since my last post,we fetched a dozon bags of manure from some stables
and spread over the soon to be potatoe patch. I have dug up the last of the sprouts and kale, just the PSB there now. potatoes are chitting well but think I will wait a couple more weeks or so Good Friday is the traditional time but it is really early this year. The frogs have been busy,took this from the window

they are quiet now but the pond is full of spawn!!!Have tried prechitting parsnips this year and putting them into root-trainers. these are just about to be put into R/T with small tweezers

Sowing at the moment Leek prizetaker and mussleburgh. Tomatoe beefsteak and golden sunrise, Tigerella came up well and have been thinned. Only Cepa onions took from thelast sowing of onions, all were old seed so not surprised. the poppies, V bonariensis,petunia,wild flowers and godetia are all doing well so I am fast running out of space in my 8'by6' greenhouse
