There has still been a cold wind so it has not been as warm as it could have been.
I have done masses of of digging and weeding, in all my gardens. I enjoy both activities. I have also planted lots of seeds. Most of them have germinated. I am now trying to keep on top of things as the grass is growing fast. I have lots of forgetmenots in flower in the gardens and the daffodils and tulips are still in bloom.

The fruit bushes have come into leaf. I have put cardboard underneath the gooseberry bushes to help prevent gooseberry sawfly.

I have planted my potatoes in both the farm garden and on the allotment.

I had success at Kirkoswald Farmers market. My stall was admired and I sold several small items. It was good training and I am doing my next craft fair in Keswick Skiddaw Hotel on 20 May. These are a flour of the items I had for sale.
