What a change, the rain finally stopped, after recording 90mm rain during February we had just 8mm in March.
Spring is on its way and the spring bulbs look great on the berm.
The forced rhubarb is pushing through ready to eat. This is lovely and pink and stays so when cooked, delicious. We have covers on just a few of the rhubarb crowns and once picked the pots are removed and the plant is left to recover. It will be a few years now before that crown is forced again.
The magnolia is in flower too, just hope we do not get a late frost as that will blacken and destroy those lovely pink flowers.
Lots of seed sowing happening now but as we do not have heated greenhouses they all go in a small heated propagator, temperatures need to get more consistent and warmer so the space in there is getting tight. Daytime temperatures in March have fluctuated from minus 0.3 to 19 degrees c and the green house is not much warmer
