The sunshine returned on Wednesday with another almost cloudless day. As we were about to leave the plot we spotted that the swallows had returned a sure sign that spring is here. The photograph is rather blurred but it was a dashed affair taken from long distance through an extremely dirty car windscreen.

On the plot we planted out some broad beans and cabbage seedlings. We had delayed planting them out hoping that some rain would make the process of planting out easier and watering the plants at home is more convenient than down on the plot.

| Broad beans - Witkeim Manita |
These broad bean plants could wait no longer in their pots so we decided to plant them out. They will need to be kept watered whilst the dry conditions persist.

| Cabbage - Primo |
These cabbage plants were one of the first tests of our indoor grow light system. They too will need to be kept watered in the dry spell. They were protected from marauding pigeons with some netting otherwise they will be reduced to nothing more than bare stems in just one attack.
