Back in the garden

The sun is out at last I actually went in the garden in a tee shirt. The grape Hyacinths and anemones planted beneath the silver birch have come out.
The potatoes have been planted in rows. Accent which are the first early crop, then Kestral the second early crop, and finally King Edward that will be the main crop.
Spuds
This year we will have a bed of strawberries. The ground was weeded and then forked over. A general fertilizer was then put into the soil, that was then covered with a weed suppressing fabric, before the plants were put in. The varieties are Cambridge, Sonata, Hapil and Elsanta.
Strawberries
The purple sprouting broccoli didn’t. Well it tried to, but the birds ate it. I thought you might like to see it.
The purple sprouting that failed
The other joy I found in the garden was a face with a saggy eyebrow growing in the Wisteria.
