We have some exciting news of our own as well. Our very first peas have appeared. We were really pleased to see them coming through. Jack couldn't quite believe it. So satisfying .
Everything is growing fast now, including the weeds. Our broad beans are doing well and seem to like their new surroundings.
We managed to get an hour of weeding done in between the rain showers. It was really muddy so not that practical but we were passing and couldn't resist a visit. The boys were in their element . Rain, mud, spades and clean clothes. Not a good combination.
Due to all the rain we have been having we had a nice full water butt. We have started to save the water as we do not have a water supply other than our water butt. We will need lots of it come the summer. These old recycled milk bottles do the trick nicely.
On our way home we noticed that the apple trees in the allotments are just starting to flower. How lovely they look. Should have some nice apples soon.
