Spinach Soup

The trellis is installed, the compost bin rebuilt and relocated, the buried paving uncovered and lifted, the soil levelled, the pond dug and the excess soil distributed so FINALLY, the spuds have been planted.

Geum 'Mrs J. Bradshaw' is out in her glory, she's a beauty - thank you J :)

Trials and tribulations: we've three broad bean plants out of the usual six showing promise, the other three have been replanted several times, having fallen to some furry, feathered or frosty jeopardy or other.

We celebrated the first of our spinach by making a favourite: Marcella Hazan's ♥ spinach and rice soup ♥ from her 'Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking' recipe book. We like to poach an egg per serving in the broth.
