First stop was the potting shed where I've now sown runner beans, courgettes, cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet peppers and chilli peppers.

Next day I prepared and rotavated an area ready for carrots and beetroot. Whatever happens I always have a good crop of beetroot and quite enjoy pickling it (<a href="http://pigyard.com/wordpress/archives/4457">bit of a blood bath</a>).

There doesn't seem to be an end to it. I do wonder if rhubarb has a life after which it becomes less productive but my plant hasn't reached that point yet.
