A Taste of Things to Come!

We've had some actual RAIN over the last two days - hurrah! You can almost hear the earth making big sponge-like sucky noises! After emptying a good inch of water out of all seedlings' containers, I went to the Hill to see what the plot thought about having a good soaking.

As you might expect, everything was looking very happy indeed - I thinned out the SPINACH (hector f1), & realised that the thinnings would make a portion of veg for tea - a rather miserly portion after cooking, I later realised (but lovely nonetheless), & after picking a few radish too, I went for 10/10 on the impatience scale & had a furtle around under the POTATOES (rocket) to see what I could find!

I was rewarded with 5 potatoes of a reasonable size - a bit smaller than golf balls but they came home and went straight in the pan with a sprig of mint. Delicious! If this is what we have to look forward to, I'm all for it!
