Anybody there? I've been too busy to blog sowing my sweetcorn, 3 types of courgette, 4 types of pumpkin and 4 types of bean. And the plot now looks a bit more recognisable as a vegetable garden. Potatoes are all lazy bedded. Beetroot, fennel and spinach in. I've been pilfering willow branches from the woods for my high peas. Broad beans coming along and the artichokes are now in the ground but under fleece to protect against the wind. It's been a tad chilly, less than 10deg, and the north wind looks set to continue for a good while. All in all, a dood time to be off for 10 days in Tuscany. So you won't hear from me until I've got for you a few seedy items from the back streets of Fosdinovo. Al, keep an eye out for me on Giro Stage 6: I'll be dressed as an artichoke and wielding an azada.
