Sofia, William and I had a picnic in the garden this afternoon (while the rugby was on tv). Must have been about 18 degrees or so - positively tropical after the recent rain.

The leek harvest has begun - with one small-to-medium-sized leek. Maybe a leek and potato soup in our future this week?

The spinach is up in the raised bed, as are the first salad leaves. Red onions are there but pretty titchy.

And the slugs have been given their first dose of Kronenbourg in the slug traps - we'll see whether they like that more or less than last year's Stella.
