After Winter passes it is with delight that we watch the garden burst into colour, snowdrops, daffodils and primroses are now in full bloom here at La Petite Maison, the grass has started to grow, all are sure signs that Spring is well and truly here, officially the 20th March this year. Today brings warm winds from the South, Chris and Joanne have composted the vegetable plots and are sorting through the seeds that Joanne carefully handpicked and dried last year, the first to be planted will be early carrots followed by Spunta potatoes, the leeks that have been dormant through the Winter months have already started to push and the fruit trees have started to bud, let's hope we don't get another spell of hard frosts like last year which saw an end to a good apple harvest when the flowers dropped before the bees had chance to polynate them.
