Buried treasure

The Boy planted out his sunflower seedlings today - grown from the seeds we planted a few weeks ago.  I don't know if we're being optimistic.  On the gardening phone-in I sometimes listen to they always seem to warn of late frosts through to the end of May.  Oh well, we'll give it a go and meanwhile plant a new batch of seeds for back-up.

We've all sorts of other things that look ready to go out - lettuce, rainbow chard, cucumbers and more.  The Boy got enthused enough to go and start raking our dormant vegetable patch.  I suddenly heard a whoop of astonishment - he'd raked up a carrot!  And not just one, a whole bunch of them, as colourful and good as new even after our long and bitter winter.  Treasure indeed!
