    Well done LT. My veggies are in, can't wait to see little green shoots. My cherry tree has lost it's blossom but looks like cherries are coming - first year for those so I am so excited! So no, your updates are not boring, those shoots are very exciting and interesting.

    Ps didn't know you could put courgette in cake?!

    aparently you can put it in a cake, not that i have i have to admit.

    My veggies still need to make it into soil but hoping for some mega sessions at the allotment this weekend, and eldest nephew has decided he'd like to stop over and help on sunday so i won't be arguing.
    We've still got blossom on our cherry tree but i don't think it's a fruiting one, i've not seen fruit on it before and it's been in for about 5 years now
