The first thing I saw when I opened the bedroom curtains today, Easter Sunday, was a rabbit in the garden. There's plenty in the woods and fields near our house, but this is the first time I recall seeing one in our garden.
Aah! Except that the little blighter was hopping all over the vegetable patch, obviously seeing what it could cadge. Perhaps it was this which disturbed some of my early potatoes and not a cat, as I first thought.
Time to let our cocker spaniel out and do what's in the genes of a hunting breed.

About Time I Wrote Something
I've been a long time absent from this blog. Where have I been? What's been happening in the garden?
The answer to the first is nowhere and to the second it is not much. Pure indolence has affected me, if I'm to be honest, but I'm hoping to get back on track.
The shallots I bought for a pound were planted some weeks ago and the rhubarb is looking healthy after a bit of forcing. Hope I get more than the one pudding of last year. Some spuds are in (maincrop to follow) and I've got some herbs on the go in the conservatory. Two types of tomatoes are potted and I'm happy to say they are now showing through.
Up and running!
