Cheers... and tears?

Another outrageous success on the plot this weekend. Two hours of work in gorgeous sunshine. Felt like a foreign country.

I have seeds sprouting everywhere with reckless haste, desperate to make up for lost time. Grim and gloomy April is all but forgotten.

The only disappointment is my overwintering cauliflowers. They look terrific – the pigeons were successfully repelled – but no sign of any heads. Which is bloody peculiar, given that it's now May.

Have I lost the Midas touch with my brassicas!?
