This gardening thing is getting to be addictive. The apple trees are budding and looking ready to produce a better than expected display of blossom. The lettuces are rapidly approaching "baby leaf" status. The onions and carrots have been steadily growing. My first leek has just poked a sprout above the level of the compost in its seed tray. We now have a few donated raspberry canes growing away in the corner of the garden. And -- most exciting to my mind -- three of our nine potato plants have managed to get sprouts above ground.
It's all good. Now I have to prepare myself for the inevitable battles with slugs and caterpillars...
