Things start to grow

Things are starting to show signs of life. Our strawberry plants, which looked dead when we put them in the soil, are putting out new leaves every week. The raspberry canes have produced some small buds, and the tomatoes we sowed a few days ago have produced their first seedling.

Behind Amy in this picture, you can see our cold frame which we got from Lidl for only £19.99. This was a tip off from another keen gardener that Amy got in contact with from the British Born Chinese website. She has been growing her own food for many years and kindly sent us many seeds and some great advice. Thanks Susan!
