May has arrived – so the days are longer and there’s some warmth in the Welsh air that feels so comforting and needed. My garden in May looks neat and organised, and all this extra light and warmth is like rocket fuel for my children – aka my plants. At this time of year, it feels like I can sit and watch them grow before my eyes.
This month there are plenty of tasks that suddenly feel pressing, though. And it’s definitely a busy time of year in the garden. But there’s still plenty of time to show you a delicious new way to cook your freshly harvested first early potatoes, for when yours are ready to harvest, and I want to look back on my growing journey over last few years – what a beautiful journey it has been.
Lastly, don’t worry if you haven’t started on your own veg-growing journey yet – May is a great month to sow lots of essential tasty ingredients for your kitchen harvests.
