During my Greek break, Joshua has careful instructions abiout watering the ooodles of plants we planted as seeds in pots just before I left. Three types of Chillies, some marrows and two types of tomato are, I hope, starting to grow in my relatively warm office building. With a following wind they will move out, first under cloches, in May and then into already prepared beds up near the fruit bushes in early June. Next up, on my return, potatoes which are now chitting, beetroot and radishes.

For an all-too-brief period, our elderflower tree bursts into glorious white blooms. Then, they are gone. Making hay while the sun shines, last Sunday, Joshua and I waded through the long grasses. I created enough of a track for him to follow through, with the grass towering over the little fellow. 80 heads were picked, before we headed home.
