Making seed beds

Well this post is late, as the activity took place last weekend, but we finally got serious, and made some seed beds! Thanks to Duren and his superior hammering skills (good to have a resident handyman), we now have 4 beds, turned over and ready to fill with little seedlings. We actually did some planting (mostly lettuce and salad greens), but it felt good to get going.

Meanwhile, an unfortunate incident involving small children at a party meant that our first trays of seedlings that were germinating at Sarah's house are now history, so we start again when Sarah is back from Easter holidays. Luckily it's been quite cold, so we haven't missed much time out "growing." End of April, the tomato plants arrive - and we get real!
