The potatoes are in the ground

 The first raised bed is up and running. Got two more to build, but I'm all out of compost for now. 

The variety of potatoes are pink fur apple and wilja. A nice waxy salad and a floury baking potato. Got enough space left in the bed for one row of cabbages. 

We're finally getting somewhere. 

I've build a small bean row, there's only really me that eats runner beans so six poles is plenty. 


And last but not least, I've made a small flower bed. 😊 It will look better as time goes on.

Spring! A few garden jobs and snookles.

 Sunday is snake cleaning day! It takes me about two hours to clean their homes and waters. 

This is Rico the bull snake! He's beautiful! And getting big at 3 years old and 4.5 feet long!

Saturday I made homemade pizza for myself and my partner. It was glorious!
I also managed to find time around the housework to plant one of the two roses I have bought for the garden and measured out the bean row so I can work around it. 
While I had the time I also planted one of my rhubarb plants. Just two more rhubarbs, a gooseberry, three raspberries another rose, a peony to plant... And a 12 foot by 10 foot raised bed to build. 😅
