Time to get out now that the days are longer

We've just passed the Spring Equinox, so that means it's official! The days are now longer than the night, and this means that the garden is going to take off pretty fast .
I'm looking out of the window at my herb garden and it's a sad sight just now.
The bay tree was badly hit by the very cold winter, and will need a heavy prune to get rid of all the dead leaves.
The sage and marjoram need cutting back.
However, the Sorrel and the Lovage are beginning to show through, and as long as the sheep and the deer don't find them we'll soon be able to use them in cooking.
