We didn't get a chance to harvest many rhubarb stalks before the plants rushed into flower very early - perhaps because of the warm dry weather in April. Never mind, the flowers are worth having too.

Late last summer we sowed miner's lettuce seed. It has certainly made itself at home! This little plant has many names - winter purslane, claytonia, spring beauty and the Latin montia perfoliata. It is a mild tasting cool weather salad plant, rich in vitamin C.

Houda and her Mum and baby sister joined us in the garden this week. With no garden of their own, they love spending time here.
