But it's still producing Leeks
, and the Rhubarb is coming back
- don't forget the Wakefield Rhubarb Festival (24th to 26th Feb in, funnily enough, Wakefield).
Despite snow still on the ground and it being pretty cold it feels a bit as though the year has turned a corner; it feels poised and ready, just waiting for light and sunshine. I'm about as prepared as I can be at this stage:
- Garlic is up and growing in the greenhouse
- Shallots and Onion sets are bought
- seeds are all bought
- Raspberries are pruned
- Blackberries are pruned and tied in
Bring it on; I'm ready!!

Oh dear you have reminded me that I need to prune the blackberries. Not a job I love!
Funny we live a couple of miles out of the centre of Wakefield and have never been to the rhubarb festival.
We're intending to go; we'll report back if we actually manage it!
You're more organised than me then - I've got sod all done! Mind you, we have still got leeks, cabbages, parsnips, broccoli x2 types and some random sprouts that were in the brand new broccoli seed packets! The snow did for the spinach and chard though.
.....might just go for a wander and peer at mi rhubarb!
My chard survived the snow, at least what was left of it after the pigeons got at it did!
