And yet more planting!

Another glorious day - that is if you ignore the thermometer!   First thing in the morning it's only registering about 4° which means frost in places.  But once the sun is up then it's wonderful.  Lovely blue sky,  hardly any cloud,  and so long as you are doing something in the sun then it's t-shirt weather.   Actually by midday you didn't have to be doing anything to feel warm as we sat in the garden eating our lunch.

I've been out planting  this years garlic, only  3 bulbs but that  was 41 cloves and if all goes / grows well that must be getting on for a years worth.   More broad beans in too, this is the 5th planting so far,  I don't do huge areas at a time, about 25 to 35 at a time but each hole has  3 beans in so altogether quite a lot.  I find that planting in 3's means that  they support each other and are less likely to collapse in the wind or rain.

And we had to water some of the peas and strawberry babes.  There hasn't been any rain for a while - my gardening diary will say when but when the ground is dry and has a hard crust then it's time to give the seeds a drink.
