'Basil!'

So the basil is sprouting as are the chives. The rosemary hasn't done anything yet but I think I sowed it too soon. They are all proudly lined up on my kitchen window sill. I already have oregano in the garden which has survived the winter really well.

I have started giving some thought to the veggies I want to grow this year. I'll do courgettes again (but not quite as many plants as last year, I was overrun with them). I'll give tomatoes another go (I lost all my plants to some nasty bastard bug). Am thinking about new pots, carrots and radishes. I grew radishes last year and they were lovely. Might invest in a few strawberry plants too.

I also want to try butternut squash as it is one of my fave veggies, but have no idea about it. Need to invest in a good book.

This weekend we are off to Ripon for the first rally event on our calendar. Neither of us have managed to book anywhere to stay (we keep forgetting) so it may be sleeping bags in the Jeep!
