 In the polytunnel the greens are trying to flower so I'm eating all the potential flower heads to keep them young.
 Spring exploded into weeds so I spent today using the hoe and putting the bucket fills of weeds into the potatoes tyres, I may live to regret it if they stay alive but for now they are covering up the first potato shoots and making them push up to the light
Meanwhile in the mountains all the beds have new basket work and I'm happy with the view

Many times it feels as though Brassica family plants are all work and no pay, but today on a frigid March morning when the hungry gap is happening they make a blooming marvellous breakfast!
