Mid Spring

There aren't any chickens in the orchard yet - they're coming on Sunday. But here is a snapshot of what's been planted as of today

There is asparagus up in the asparagus beds.

There is blossom on the plum tree and coming on the other fruit trees

There is blossom on the black and red currant bushes

We have dug up all the leeks and are finishing off the brussells sprouts

I have planted two boxes of purple carrots and one box of rainbow carrots

The cannelini bean and runner bean seeds have germinated and are sitting happily in the greenhouse

My poor early seedlings, sitting in the front doorway in the lounge room desperately need potting on.  A job for Sunday, I think.

There are flowers struggling up through the chaos in the flower garden. And the trees and bushes are slowly, slowly, slowly turning green again.

Spring definitely seems to have arrived in Tupton!
