But that doesn’t stop our Thomas: trees exist to be climbed!
Lovely weather

Today we had a very productive day: DH built 9 meters of high fence to replace the one that went down in a storm a month ago. I spent the day weeding, repotting a nectarine tree, planting onion sets (in trays under glass), planting out 4 strawberry plants (Mara des Bois) and doing some cleaning out in the greenhouse. Very satisfying, but we will both be sore tomorrow!.
And the winner is…

Pathetic leeks

The leek harvest has been underwhelming, this winter. Last year was my first growing season in sandy soil after having learned veg growing in clay soil. Right, more manure will be applied next time and then we’ll see.
These pathetic leeks have been added to a nice pea soup.
