My winter sown cabbage

My lovely cabbage plants look great this year too! The trick is to winter sow them in the polytunnel. I look forward to harvesting my beautiful winter sown cabbage soon!

My flowering peach tree

It's so beautiful! The tree is still quite small so I need to come close to really enjoy the lovely little flowers. My favorite color is pink and needless to say, I get plenty of it from my flowering peach tree.

Overwintering lettuce

It's time to start harvesting my overwintered lettuce! I get at least one big bowl of many-colored leaves every day. Such a luxury! Overwintering lettuce is the key to getting such an early harvest. This is how it's done.

This time of year is all about parsnip in the kitchen garden. I harvest last year's sowing and sow parsnip seeds in new little clusters.

Moving my Vorbote 3 to the polytunnel

The first little Vorbote 3 cabbage plants are thriving in my polytunnel. I count on that I can start harvesting here in April, even though it's still quite cold outside.
