Lots of green stuff shooting up in the plot this week. The lovage is such a strong growing plant - a bit of a thug mind you, but it looks splendid in it's corner when it is taller. Just a couple of young leaves add a lovely savoury taste to a green salad.
Garlic is looking good.
The shallots are peeking through.
Hmmm - so are the creeping buttercups.
The nettles are ready to pick at last.

The delicate angelica is looking very lush too. Not surprising that everything is bursting into growth - we have had a fairly long spell of decent weather. A bit cold and windy the last couple of days, and we have been warned about more snow. Every time I check the forecast pages, though, the snow has been pushed back another day. Maybe at this rate I will be posting pictures of a snow covered garden in June! Apparently it did snow in June one year - about 60 years ago! It is ingrained into our local folk memory now, and people even younger than me will say - 'It once snowed in June' as if they were there. Funny thing the weather.

I love these growing photos, so inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear, no time to read further but so much to catch up on in your blog!
ReplyDeleteOh! It all looks soooo lovely! I really like lovage too. Are you making nettle wine this year?
ReplyDeleteI hope they are wrong and it doesn't snow again until winter!
