Just spent a bit of time in the back garden preparing the ground for the planting of vegetables - turning over and trimming the overhanging Ivy. Actually, it was still frozen out there so it was quite hard going. Beautiful sunshine though, and surprisingly warm if you actually stand in the rays - bloody freezing if you are in the shade! All the hills around are snow covered, and it is a perfect day for hiking. The patch of ground for planting is not large - 1.5m x 5m - but will be used thoroughly! If anyone has any recommendations about what to plant, drop us a line.
The previous owners of the house had pretty much removed all the plants/flowers that were here previously, so there was nothing of interest from a foraging perspective other than a single, small and somewhat bedraggled Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) so today's post will be on that most common and quite tasty weed.
