It wasn’t until I looked at the photo of our first Sweet pea flower that I saw the greenflies! The Sweet peas have been very slow this year. I’m hoping they’ll pick up if the weather improves.
The lilies are scenting the whole of the garden.
Our rhubarb is doing well since we brought some of it home from the allotment. Tonight I have made the very delicious Different-every-time- pudding, otherwise known as Rhubarb Butterscotch Pie and the recipe by Ambrose Heath can be found here.
I love seeing the blue sky through bright green leaves.
I bought some lovely copper labels for the trough near the kitchen where I grow edibles, flowers as well as herbs.
There’s a birthday tomorrow at Community Roots so I have made a Sticky Ginger Cake which I know is the birthday person’s favourite.
I’ve baked a cake for tomorrow in Redruth. It’s Murdoch Day and Redruth Pride.
It’s the Falmouth Shanty festival this weekend and late afternoon saw The Suitcase Singers on stage. It was really good fun to be part of the event.

Blossom seen near the recycling center where we took some stuff today. I don’t know what it is…….
Indeed we do. 🙂
Sorry about the uncooked pie! I forgot to take a photo when it came out of the oven all golden as we were too eager to eat it!
Isn’t she beautiful? Made by Sue Hill and Pete Hill
Here is the original Mud Maid to be found in The Lost Gardens of Heligan here in Cornwall.
Here’s this month’s Happiness Calendar. We’ve had a happy day as the lovely young men have been installing the solar panels and appreciating the cookies. I’ve had a steroid injection in my hip which hopefully will have the desired effect.
It’s Blueberry cake for the volunteers tomorrow.

It’s been raining so hard we have a carpet of orange pettals under the California Poppies. Happily, there are many more buds.
Loving the rough pattern of the bark and the lichen.

I’ve baked a batch of Choc Chip Cookies today for the workmen who will be fitting the solar panels tomorrow. 
Last night’s sunset was beautiful.
It was so hot (28C) today, too hot to work at Community Roots but I had baked a cake for the volunteers so I went along to deliver it to the few hardy (or foolhardy) folks who were there doing their thing. They were glad to have some ginger cake to look forward to!
Mary Berry’s Gingerbread Traybake
It’s only three days since I planted the seed bombs and two of them are sprouting already.
We froze Seville oranges in January so that we could make the marmalade when we had time. Today we have made several month’s worth! 
I also made the coffee cake for tomorrow’s market, the first this year.
My lovely Mr S just managed to catch the woodpecker as it was leaving the feeders. I love this photo of the wings in flight.
We’ve had sunshine today and at Roots I sowed seeds and more seeds, 14 trays of between 100 and 250 seeds per tray, kale, red cabbage, cauliflower, Romanescue and more. There’ll be plenty of potting on to do over the next few weeks.
I do love a good pie – tonight, Chicken and Sweetcorn Pie
Happy St Patrick’s Day to all my Irish readers and a nod to my Irish heritage on my Father’s side.
