In the garden the broad beans are putting on steady growth. They are amongst the first vegetables we crop in the spring.

In the greenhouse sit the avocados, dates and etrogim all grown from avocado stones, date pits and seeds. We brought them inside yesterday.

A pelathon along Mill Road or just a group of cyclists out for a ride?

The garlic has been planted (using cloves saved from the summer crop)

And while I was at Tai Chi class J planted shallots and covered them with pickle jars to give them a warm start and keep the birds away until they are established.
