Goodies

The bees are loving the rosemary.

What a good day. We arrived at the plot today and I immediately got frustrated with my crappy, way-too-big-for-me gloves so we left almost straight away again for the garden center. I remembered I had some birthday money to spend, and well, I went a little wild!

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me!

The hoard:

• One rhubarb plant. Hey, I could have waited and waited for someone to give me a little bit of root, but I am just far too impatient for that.
  
• Nine, I repeat, NINE strawberry plants. I can't wait. Ah. We wont be getting many this year I suppose. Never mind, we'll be feasting next year. We got 3 plants each of 3 different varieties
  
• One small tray of red cabbage plants. I forgot to buy the seeds and well, it IS my birthday...
• A pot of sweet pea plants to brighten up the few eating peas that made it so far (damn you evil weevils)
• Window sill propagator. This is my brand new tomato plan.
  
• AND a pair of posh gardening gloves that fit perfectly and are all soft and lovely on the inside

The trowel was from a friend. And a very nice trowel it is too, sporting a cutting edge, and a ruler.

We weeded and weeded and weeded, and I rigged up the pea support. Does it look like overkill?
