in the garden

there is really not much about my garden, just a two straw bales and a bucket with potatoes. the leeks i have planted in the winter, and they have grown somewhat over the past weeks. i hope within a month or so we will be able to harvest them, though as the leafs are in now, the bales are not getting full sun until the sun is high up on the sky. thea's potatoes have been growing nicely i'm full excitement in regards to a hand full early harvest. the girl can almost not wait... on tuesday i also put 4 broccoli plants into the soil, and since then the rain has been good, soaking the straw (which is in it's second season). i kind of figured, that the not good harvest last year, was partly the snails and the other reason me not watering enough.

in the front of the house are a bunch of pots with sweet peas, a climbing variety, lets hope for some good growth and climbing on the banister with beautiful flowers and then it will be snack time.
