First week in the garden March 2010

Potted seeds awaiting the poly-tunnel, sorting basilic seeds and Sandra in a wintry looking garden.

Spring is in the air..... well not really , temperatures are very low, -6 in the mornings and there is a bitter northly wind, however the first week of group work in the garden has begun and it is bravo to Sandra, a Elpm student, the first to volunteer this year.

Despite the cold and freezing fingers, we cleared out the poly-tunnel ready for it to be mended for the new season. We sorted and planted seeds....lots of them, including tomatoes (many varieties), chile peppers, basilic, rue, winter savoury, marjolaine....
