Spring Thinking

Have found white icing recipe so Miss 6 can have a white birthday cake at her 'snow fairy' birthday party.  Yes, the things we do.  Basically this stuff is uncooked pavlova mixture (egg white + sugar + water), so if I don't finish this post it's because I am lying ion the floor expiring from sugar overload.

The garden is thinking about spring.  Just in the last few days we've had a flush of growth.  The lettuces are putting out new bright green leaves, and the Pak Choy and Tatsoi have started to crowd themselves out. Not to mention the rogue turnip in there. Turnips. I ask you.

And the Avocado tree is sporting new sprouts - not sure if they'll turn into baby avocados or new branches - am happy with either :)  Also brick up against fence there is to stop wretched dog from digging under and making unseemly advances to the lady dog next door (you are DESEXED you thick hound).

All this excitement has led to me getting my seed collection organised and deciding what to plant where.

Big list, but some of this stuff will get planted just once - like Eggplant - and other stuff will get planted on a semi-regular (ie when I remember) basis - like carrots.
