The Jerusalem Artichokes have made their entrance into the above-ground world and although starting off slow I'm sure they will speed up and soon be towering over everything else...
The potatoes have also emerged, but not only where they were intentionally planted but bl***y well in amongst the garlic, shallots, onions, carrot and beetroot bed etc.etc. I'm sure I dug every last one up last year...
This little beauty was dispatched into a roast tomato pasta sauce...yum! There are others on their way and hopefully by doing this they'll grow on quickly.
And back at the house most of the winter squash sown last week have appeared.

The blackcurrants are already flowering and there are lots of clusters of them on the plants so maybe another bumper crop? Mmmm blackcurrant jam!
The gooseberries are also blooming. Gooseberry fool or crumble? Tough choice!
The ramsons also seem to thriving where we've planted them by producing some pretty but smelly flowers.
The garlic is looking lush and healthy. I wonder if it's had enough cold to split properly into cloves? Well I'll have to be patient and wait until summer... The shallots have sprung into life.
And finally just had to take a picture of one of the artichoke plants from above because it makes a perfect star shape.
