Doesn't take long!

I noticed the first parsnip seeds had chitted this morning so I managed to place two seeds into each of the first six boreholes, very carefully with tweezers, a quarter inch deep. They were covered over with compost and well watered. The first leaf will be through the surface in a week or two. We're off and running!

My leeks are still fairly small as they have only been ticking over the last few weeks. But now they're getting some Spring sunshine i'm noticing a difference.

No need to shoot your bolt too early....Harrogate is a long way off!
