Spring is springing in Sussex

Well March has been fantastic with the prunus type trees bursting into bloom.  Already the mirabelle at the bottom of the garden is shedding petals around the chicken pen.  It seems to be a little bit ahead of the damson and the greengage so I have no idea how many of the tasty golden yellow fruit we will see this year.  I’ve been scrubbing down the glass of the greenhouse so that a bit more light can get through.  Time to start sowing the spinach and the beetroot using the guttering method.  My broad beans and sweet corn are going into special bean growing containers.  Seemed to work very well last year.
