A Frosty start to a Wednesday~12th March 2014

The day started frosty and felt very cold, until the sun came up and quickly burned the early frost away. The famous Norfolk winds were conspicuous by their absence, thankfully. Fortunately I have no tender seedlings yet and the frost probably did more good than harm to my hardy plants. When the sun burned off the frost I was left with a useful film of water soaking the new leaves growing on my Strawberry plants and Gooseberry bushes.

Broad Beans and early Peas

 I am very pleased with the growth of my over-winter Broad Beans~I have sown some Pea seeds in between the plants, I am hoping they will entwine themselves around the beans and I will get the two crops together. I think it will work, if not I will come to the rescue with some support for the pea plants. See the healthy looking babies below~ :)

We are enjoying a prolific crop of White Sprouting Broccoli, they have really come into their own this year. I usually grow the purple sprouting variety, last year I picked up a packet of seeds containing the white variety to try, and they are doing very well. 

I have now sown some early Cabbage seeds and I have started a seed bed with Radishes, Beetroot, Spring onions and Coriander~
