April garden update

Better than what any Easter bunny could leave, well for me anyway, seedlings waiting to be planted includes artichokes, broad beans, onions, lettuce...
 Rocket and marjoram under the fig tree
 Manderins ripening up on the tree, carefully watched by the kids who can't wait to eat them
 Winter veggie bed, brochli, cabbage, pok choy, kale
 The start of another veggie bed, yippee, or ouch as Dave would say he's done all the digging, will be raised the same as the one on the right of the picture, we should be ableto get a good crop rotation now with three beds.  Lemon tree and orange tree in the borders behind
 Onions and Shallots planted, pumpkins and squashes ripening well
 A productive corner, yellow excel fig in barrell and lettuce seedlings planted out by Grace, artichokes behind as they like full sun and more shallots
 Broad beans will be more impressive in the early spring when they've grown and produced some beans

An area in waiting, Grace dug out all the plants in her bed, and wants to start again, luckily I was able to plant the original plants around the garden, watch this space, aswe don't know whats going to happen here yet.
