Hello Friends,

I don’t know where the last month has gone – all has been a bit busy here on Frugal Hill. I’ve also been unwell on and off over the last few weeks – just overtired I think and ending up with a horrible cold over the whole of last weekend sandwiched between two two-day migraines.

I’m not really on top of anything as a result, but I’ve just been doing a few little bits here and there.  I’ve dug over a couple of the raised beds and noticed there are lots of worms in the soil.  This is a good sign, and as we are now on the third year with them, it looks like the soil is improving.

I’m going to limit the seeds I plant this year – I’ve not planted any seeds yet, as I’ve found planting seeds in March is a bit too early for where we live.  I found a plastic box with a load of seeds in from last year which are still in date, so I will use those.  I’ve just bought four packets of seeds one of which is sweetcorn at OH’s request.  I’m not sure if it will grow here, but we’ll give it a try.

Are you planting up already?  How is your gardening going?

Until next time, Tawney x
