Just a quick catch up to show what’s growing in our kitchen garden this month.
The patch of early rhubarb is romping away nicely, depending on the weather we may be pulling the first stems as early as March.
Rhubarb from the ground up, this angle of photography really shows the stems in their full rhubarby glory.
Rows of garlic are peeking through the soil now, the variety is Red Duke which we grew last year with success. Half of the rows are bought-in seed garlic from the same supplier and the other half are saved seed garlic.
I’ve started to notice the delicious scent of blackcurrant as I brush past the fruit bushes, leaf buds are beginning to swell so it won’t be long before they burst open. The herb patch is in a sheltered position with chives, French tarragon, lavender, sage and garlic chives all having fresh new growth at the base.
Seed sowing:
At the moment we have one variety of chillies that have all germinated, with another still to show. These are Rich’s babies so I will have to ask him what they are and update the post when I know!
We plan to sow tomatoes, leek, brassicas and sweet pea over the weekend.
