We’ve been planting triffids!
Not really, this is one of two rows of asparagus crowns planted yesterday, type Verte ‘Lima’.
Now all they need is careful weeding and mulching, and we need lots and lots of patience….hopefully we’ll be eating delicious tender asparagus in a couple of years time.
After the quiet hibernation of winter, suddenly comes the madness of spring.
I apologize for the lack of posts recently but here are a few things that have been occupying us lately:
weeding, sowing, planting, propagating, mowing, strimming, cleaning,  decorating, mending, rearranging, celebrating.
We’ve got one more push on the weeding and seeding front then perhaps life will return to a normal pace again.
At last! Just what I’ve always wanted….a greenhouse!
The frame and some of the glass were already here, so we just needed some plexiglass, a bit of enviromesh and some wombling was required to find the bits to make the staging.
This year we’re going to have a go at growing various types of tomato in the new greenhouse, perhaps some aubergines and possibly melon. In the meantime it’s being used as a potting shed.
I bought this artichoke plant on Saturday at the market in St Eloy les Mines
