This weekend (plus a few days extra) was spent in Portugal visiting family. It's always nice going there especially when the weather starts warming up as the family has two plots of land for gardening. This time of the year in early spring, we should have been able to pick broad beans but with the late start to spring, they weren't ready. The neighbours did have a couple ready to be picked as they sowed them earlier.

There were however still lots of tangerines. 4 trees in total but only 1 was still producing fruit juicy enough for juicing.

There was also an orange tree with very good oranges which was also less work to get some juice out of.

The pear trees were in bloom, as were the cherry trees and neighbours quince tree.

Also managed to help plant some potatoes which was incredibly hard work! But glad I was able to help (even though just a little) and have a better idea on how to plant some for the future.
