First picking of asparagus , rhubarb and purple sprouting broccoli with rocket from the polytunnel. Somehow this seemed worthy of a photo while potatoes, turnips and kale have escaped the camera, despite being in the basket much more frequently!
The poached egg plants went in after the potatoes were lifted in November as a green manure crop and forage for bees in May. Behind is a bed of cauliflower.
In the foreground is Rhubarb Timperley early. I divided one to plant up this bed last year. They were mulched in autumn. Behind is another bed of poached eggplant and behind that the kale.
I try to lift the leeks without disturbing the Poached eggplant and forget-me-nots that have self-seeded amongst them.
The gooseberry bushes are still leafless, revealing a nest from last summer.
Ladybirds are ready for spring.
Even enjoying a spring kiss.
