On Good Friday we received a message from our gardening mate Gerry Hectic telling us he noticed he had blossom on his apple tree and it was like it appeared almost overnight. We looked at ours straight away and there was nothing, until this morning and as if by magic (above)…Cheers Gerry!

Whilst doing the big clear up around the pond the other day we found a little clump of Wild Garlic down there. Years ago we’d found out about them on a woodland walk while on holiday and bought a couple of bulbs off ebay. We put them in and duly forgot about them until now. They smell pungent and we’ve seen them on sale at Borough Market for silly prices but never really fancied eating them. Anyone got any good recipes?

And today we stuck some peas in a grid type pattern in one of the raised beds so in a couple of weeks time, if all goes well we can have a small portion of pea shoots. Now that’s something to look forward too! As someone told us years ago (and Vertical Veg mention it in this great article here too) if you can get you hands on a box of dried peas for soaking, they’re cheap as chips and work great when it comes to getting pea shoots.

And finally there’s a leek in our daff patch what are we gonna do?
