I'm going to plant some broad bean seeds today. The local guru on the
gardening show says that Spring planting in this cold clime are
better than Autumn plantings.

My garlics are doign well but my lettuces are sulking.

I've started a new herb bed, right near the back door (as it should
be and never has been since we've been here really).

The weather is cold but I can see signs of Spring. It will be a
blessing when it gets here.

My asparagus is already shooting, which is quite weird because it doesn't
usually start until the start of September and it has not been that warm
this year.

I put in some asparagus peas for the first time. Some thing came up, but it
looks like no peas I've ever seen - looks more like pigweed. I also tried
Baby Bear pumpkins. There were four seeds in the packet. So far none of them
have come up. I think I'll stick to buying Yates - at least you get enough
seeds to have another try.
Lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot, beans, snowpeas all doing well.
Cheers,
Dan.
