Happy Monday ☀️ It’s goodbye to the daffodils and hello to the tulips on the plot. I’m going to go and collect myself a bunch (well a handful a least 😉) of tulips for the house today, just in time for Easter weekend ☺️

Feeling torn... few days ago I harvested my very first spear of asparagus, I had it with a poached egg and it was absolutely delicious! So why am I torn? Because I planted the asparagus crown 4 years ago and it’s the only one left in a very weedy/couch grass ridden area of my plot. After 4 years is one spear really making the most of my space? I’ve been planning to dig this patch over and move my rhubarb into it to make it more productive. So this is probably the only spear of asparagus I’ll ever have from this patch. About 2 years ago I planted a few more crowns further down the plot...but I also have alternative plans for that area! I’m torn because I loved eating my own asparagus but I just don’t think I am patient enough or have enough space to keep trying to grow it. I’m just not sure it’s working hard enough for the space it takes 😔

Cannot wait for these Ranunculus to open, I’m going to go to the plot later and check on them 😬 Excited!!! I planted these last year and didn’t get a single flower, I think mainly because I was too late transplanting them outside. This year however the foliage popped up about a month ago and I didn’t dare to believe that they’d survive the frosts but here they are about to flower 😬

Using the last few Brussels to make a very exciting dish...puréed Brussels anyone?! 😂 We are going to start weaning our little one soon and so I’m taking the opportunity to batch make a few tasty veg purées using the last of the winter crops from our plot. I’ve been looking forward to this, I’m so excited for her to try veggies that I’ve grown! I just hope she likes them as much as we do 🤞🏻 (Also spot the Strong Girls Club popsocket 💪🏻 lets hope that’s what my little one will become eating all her greens!)

The first rhubarb of the year ❤️ Yesterday evening I popped to the plot to get some veg for tea and was pleasantly surprised to find a couple of rhubarb stems were finally big enough to pick 😍 Such a treat!

In between all the madness of packing and cleaning ready to move I took a few minutes earlier today to have a look at some of the spring bulbs popping up in the garden (if I’m honest I was also saying goodbye to them 😢). I do love these white daffodils they look so elegant with their trumpets tilted down. I hope I can create the same (if not better!!) spring bulb display in my new garden 🤞🏻
