A beautiful spring day with balmy breezes encouraged us to work through the potato and cabbage patch first thing, leaving only the purple sprouting broccoli which has yet to have its moment of glory. We then moved on to the willow bordered vegetable garden and after a quick rotavation planted the broad beans, then sowed the spinach in the cold frames. The garden is filling up again now and in the space of a week has lost its monotone earth colours and turned verdant again, this prompted the first proper mowing of the season with me back on the tractor once more. I only stalled it twice which isn't bad for a rusty non driver and bodes well for the summer when I shall be regularly responsible for much of the grass cutting. Later it was warm and dry enough to hoe the yellow border, it will probably be a daily task for at least the next five months, groan!
