As Spring finally seems to be here, it's been time to get thinking about the new growing season. It's been such a cold start to the year that we're a little later getting growing - but in addition to the onions / chillis - we do have a range of seeds (tomatoes, courgettes, peppers) planted up on the windowsill awaiting germination.
The onions are doing ok, although I'm a little unconvinced about whether these spindly little seedlings will actually turn into monster onions!
A couple of weeks back we also planted up four tubs of potatoes, which are now sitting in the big greenhouse and showing the first signs of life. Otherwise we've been digging over the veg plots, and yesterday I did some weeding in the fruit cage, clearing out lots of dead strawberry leaves.
Everything is looking good there - all the fruit bushes are putting on their first leaves, and lots of new canes are coming up round last year's raspberries:
Speaking of fruit, the rhubarb is also doing very nicely thank you:

My rhubarb hasn't even begun to grow yet! And my onions are looking just as spindly as yours. I'm sure they'll bulk up just fine!
