Now you see them....

The first two strawberries of the year! And no slug holes, or bird beak holes - only lovely shiny strawberries, with loads more already ripening on the plants to come.
They tasted bloody good too!

update on garden work
sown:
Grass seed, over the fosse, having raised the levels again.
pricked out:
nothing recently
potted-on:
lots of cosmos - trying to get it a decent size before I put it out in the front garden. More annual lavatera
planted out:
- Some of the bigger cosmos plants & some of the lifted/divided gaura into the front garden. 
- Sweet peas, ipomea, marigolds & sunflowers into the containers by the BBQ.
- Chard (ordinary & rainbow) into the garden & the serre. Parsnips into the garden (had to lift some of the garlic a bit early to make room, but it tastes great!)
- Self-rooted Lonicera plantlets into the manger troughs alongside the old hangar. I have taken lonicera cuttings taken to fill these mangers.
