Things are starting to grow at last- tips of lovage, little sorrel leaves

The ice cold weather has finally relented, and we're up in the dizzy heights of 11C . Not great, but better. It's also raining, which is something I'm not normally a big fan of, but we need the rain now to help the buds open.

Here is a picture I took in March last year of the lovage just coming up. You can click through this link to find out how to grow and use lovage. This year the lovage still isn't as big as this. We must be  3 weeks or 4 weeks behind last year. The sorrel is still tiny too.
