Slowly more stuff is emerging. These are sprouting purple broccoli, some of which I'm going to plant out, but this lot will go in a salad still as sprouts in a day or so.
The vegetable patch is at the boring frustrating stage where everything that's in there is underground and invisible. I just make sure to water regularly and have a think about what else might go in. Garlic and onions and ginger are all doing something under the soil.
My solitary lettuce grown from the stem of last week's salad bowl is doing great, lapping up the current sunshine. It's a bit shy so we'll give it a few more days before sharing photos, but it's great to have at least one little bit of deliberate green showing.
Elsewhere in the garden the dandelions are showing themselves, so there's plenty to do to get rid of them before they spread their seed even further.
But mostly right now, I just want to sit with a cup of tea and listen to the birdsong.
