WONDERFUL BROCCOLI.

It has given me enormous pleasure this week to be able to give Gonzalo a huge broccoli - he loves them and he didn't plant any. Instead he put loads of cauliflower in, and they are not doing well. We heard his rotivator working overtime today: he is getting ready to put in 300 potatoes!! That's my cue, I guess, to get ready to do the same but with a modest little bag of about 36.

It's been Springlike weather here - daytime temperature around 21C - perfect for mucking about in the garden, lighting a bonfire (we're allowed now on Tuesdays and Thursdays) and attacking the weeds. Such a satisfying feeling of being on top of it at the end of the day.
