First dig

Matthew (below) braved the intermittent sleet today with a fork - I just managed to stop him in time before he accidentally dug the wrong plot! I had a go myself too but soon gave up - the soil is definitely too wet and we'll do much more harm than good by not waiting a few more weeks. Very keen to get my broad beans sown but will have to settle for a late season crop this year...

Getting the lime on

Congratulations to Richard and Martyn for being the first to get stuck in - I might wait till it warms up a bit!
