Loads of leeks, celeriac, cabbage and herons.

Today we bagged up some spuds into quarter sacks (6kg) for an order. Cut,stripped a load of leeks and cabbage. Also dug up and trimmed some celeriac for an order. Gave the lambs some barley to fatten them up. Also picked some sprouts in the morning which was a tad cold on the toes, mainly because they are the only part of the body which isn't moving much. Got them done fairly quick though and not too many needed. Saw two herons out in the field probably eating worms, lovely birds. Also saw a kestrel hovering very near us-amazing. Lots of mud around at the moment and freezing mornings can be a pain. But lots to harvest, can't complain. I asked the grower about the farms slow time, as I was worried about enough work. He said that June is the real quiet time as the farmer finishes the winter crops and starts into the next. I thought it would be Jan and Feb with the cold and snow but apparantly not.
