I finally qualified for my concessionary bus pass and it arrived in the post today. Tomorrow morning is a trip into town to christen it.

Indoors today due to the weather, going through old crap and found all my copies of the River Cottage shows

Catching up on Gardeners world and all sorts of gardening shows that I didn't know existed, recorded and found to be nowhere as good as they sounded lol

I found my very first romanesco this morning. 3 years it’s taken! 1st year they grew into cauliflower. 2nd year nothing grew more than a few leaves (but that was the same for most things) due to poor soil management. So finding this little beauty this morning has made me very happy.

I finally got my lavender low level hedge started. I have grown 36 lavender plants from seed, and potted them from modules to pots to harden them up. I only had one fatality. Today I managed to get 14 of them planted at the base of my fence then rain took over, hopefully I can get the remaining ones planted tomorrow.

I furtled up my first few potatoes of 2020 (a mix of Winstons and Red Duke of York, I think) and my first ever grown in the ground! They are much bigger than I expected, especially the Winstons. I have just eaten a portion, boiled (skin on, in chunks) then mixed with salted butter and home grown mint. Delicious! I am leaving some to cool to combine with boiled eggs for potato salad later.
