It's a lovely day to sing and dance at the bottom of the garden

I HAVE SNOWPEAS! They grow SO fast once flowers appear, its insane! They're still very small, but at the rate they grew I wouldn't be surprised if I'm not eating snowpeas in a week!

My snowpeas have begun to flower! I'll be eating snowpeas in no time at all and I am so excited!! They're just not as good from the shops. There's nothing like eating a fresh of the vine snowpea.

My spring onions are starting to look like spring onions! In early stages they looked very similar to grass weeds and I would be bummed by having grass pop up instead

I harvested my first Pak choy plant! We used it in some drunken noodels and it was very delicious.

I had a big day in the garden this weekend! I sat for ages pulling apart my snow peas and retying them to help them stand straight. All their little tendrils had grabbed one another at lower areas, and pulling each other down instead of up, so I unwound them all to set them on the right path. So much height was gained on some plants from doing this! I got some big clippers and cut back the bush from behing the fence, and that simple act felt like it openened up so much space! Using the cutters was fun but definitely hurt seeing as it was arm day at the gym for me the day before!
I also did a big refresh of my chicken coop, so there was even more fresh poo than normal so I used that to fertilise all of my plants! We had spinach chicken pasta again for tea as there is soooo much spinach growing. I picked so much and yet you can hardly tell that any was gone! I have a feeling we will be eating this very often for a while as the spinach I'm getting seems endless!
