Today I will make my first cut of overwintered chard.  Well chuffed that this lasted so well given the winter we had.  I will cream the chard in the manner of spinach  and have it with Steak tonight for my 50th Birthday tea.

Happy Birthday to you!!!!!!!

Far too wet on the plot so best to keep off.

Instead I planted a few french beans in modules and some runner beans in large pots and buckets. Thought if I did this tomorrow you`d think it was a joke so I did it today instead!

OH not going to be best pleased when she comes home from work to find pots of FYM in the conservatory.

Put 1/2 a bed of broadies in.

Had a wander around the rest - everything looks like its about to die  even the blackberries and the whole place seems to be alive with black ants, I thought they'd moved on.

I've got a lot of ants this spring as well

Black or red? I hate red ants - boy can they nip!

black ants on the plot and red ants in the lawn

No sun-bathing on the grass then! (Ouch  )

I'll have to try to get rid of them before the school holidays, won't I?

Might be advisable unless you want to keep the lawn free of children

Not a lot!
After work turned the Compost Bins and watered the Greenhouse and admired the plots.

Just recieved the May issue of Grow your own and its talking about harvesting broad beans, seems ages away

[Robster]

Checked out my greenhouse broad beans (A quick crop before the toms go in).  They are just making flower and about a foot high and good and sturdy.  Closing in on my first bean crop of the year
