Pea shoots

Vivid, bright green of new growth and promise of summer to come.My favourite colour and submission for Tiny Tuesday. Thank you for hosting MaryElizaR.

This is the first time we've grown pea shoots for a good few years. Sarah Raven says there the best thing you can grow for salady bits, they can be grown all year round, sowing successions every 4-6 weeks. Snip off the tip after about 4 weeks and harvest a couple of times a week. Use the sugar snap or mange tout varieties.

In other news, a gusty, gutsy run up and down the North Downs this morning. And an endurance session shopping. For the past 20 years, we've shopped online, no longer for the time being. Called in at Marks and Spencer to buy ready meals for Doreen, gave Waitrose a miss as there were too many people queuing for foie gras and did the vast majority of the shopping for Doreen, ourselves and a neighbour at Tescos.

All very orderly, no other queues, no eggs or bread flour, everything else OK. Only one set of numpties. We've been making our own bread for 20 years too, now the world and her husband are doing it too.

Susan zoomed a session with Rock Choir tonight, my turn with the basses tomorrow. Our local fish and chip shop has reopened for online orders, I think we might partake of that tomorrow

Keep well, keep safe and keep sane
