Recipe here, by a woman who photographs every stage. (My wife didn't make it like this though).

Weather Report:
Here in South East Ireland we are about 1 month later in the season than last year. Biblical-strength rain for 40 days and 40 nights, followed by icy East winds for about 2 weeks, direct from the Russian Steppes, had retarded the garden's emergence into growth. At last the wind has veered SW and we are enjoying the dimly-remembered joy of actually going into the garden.
My faithful polytunnel is now bursting at the seams with seedlings and cuttings which will go out in another few weeks. It's always warmer in the polytunnel (hoop house if you are American) and seeds germinate freely. My hanging baskets are planted up and will stay indoor until the end of May.
Our resident blue tit is bringing nesting materials to the nest box. They time the chicks hatching to coincide with caterpillars to feed them on, so they know more than we do.
I have sown First Early spuds under black polythene and moved them from their usual bed to the next one as Eelworms build up in the soil and ruin the tubers after a season or two.
'Potting on' takes up most of my garden 'downtime' as the seedling outgrow their modules. It's a great antidote to computer work and keeps me relatively sane.
Bring on Spring!
