We've got a little list

Today is the end of the year's rectification period so we are updating the snagging list for final resolution.  And here is the pond with the first round of planting settling in.

Taking the pea

This time last year we had just finished erecting the greenhouse.  This time this year we've just harvested the first early crop of peas for our dinner.  Looking forward to the fig harvest later in the year - if you look carefully at the pic below you will see there are two fruit on the plant which is just starting to become a fig fan (as am I!).

All the tender stuff is now out in either the greenhouse or the garden.  We had a very severe frost a couple of weeks ago that took out much new growth, even on very hardy things like beech and roses - I've never seen that before.  Alan's spuds suffered in spite of being wrapped up in two layers of fleece - but they're putting up fresh growth at a rate of knots.  Growth is slowing a little due to the lack of rain - according to the newspaper just 12% of the average during April in our area - I don't normally water things but this is the exception.
House-wise, we are just coming up to the anniversary of signing off the building works so we're due a final inspection and snagging list as soon as we're back from Zbraslavice - Peter the Architect sent me a nice picture of the Pitts Special he's been building so if we're lucky we can celebrate this with a aerobatic display...
