So, in the last post I announced that I was back and then I vanished. Sorry, for misleading you. I’ve just been crazy busy. I won’t bore you with the details because hey who isn’t busy?  However, while I haven’t managed to blog I have managed to do a bit of digging, planting and weeding and the garden is doing well. I took a few quick snaps this afternoon.

This is my first crop of carrots–ever! They should be ready in 3 to 4 weeks.

My Garlic is just about ready to pick.

The remainder of my spring onions have come to seed. They have been overgrown and inedible for over a month but I didn’t pull them up just so I could watch them flower. I love onion flowers they are so light and delicate.

My Broad Beans have flowered and are ready to fruit. I love them raw so they may not make it to the stove.

My Lime tree is absolutely covered in flowers so we are going to have another bumper crop of limes this summer. I’m looking forward to those G&Ts.

Cos Lettuce, so easy to grow.

Rosemary sprigs waiting for that spring lamb.

Celery. I leave it in the ground and pick the stalks as I need them. There’s me in background.
