...tasty purslane and garlic mustard, the first foraging of the spring that on this beautiful day we took full advantage of...
At the Apricot Centre we had a very interesting tour around the permaculture designed fruit farm and we got to appreciate all of the emerging signs of spring.

Flowering redcurrant
Newly emerging leaves...
...shining like jewels in the spring sun
Furry caterpillar catkins
Gorgeous blossom...
...in beautiful juxtaposition with winter
and a successfully fruiting outdoor nectarine!
At the second project we visited - the peoples community garden in Ipswich - we had another lovely tour and then had a little nap...
...and did some concentrated digging to give a little bit back!
All in all a rather marvellous spring day!
