It always takes a while after winter to get back into the habit of thinking about sunscreen again.

I can’t say I’m having much success with my spinach at the moment - one lot was growing well initially but has now gone to seed, and I have one plant that is growing really slowly, it’s barely bigger than a seedling and it has been in the ground for weeks. Fortunately the lettuce seems to be doing much better - I have some under the climbing beans, so hopefully the shade will keep them from getting too hot with the increase in sunshine.

Rosemary is fairly hardy, so hopefully your cuttings will go ok. I have a prostrate rosemary which was growing up some lattice so that it looked like a standard bush, but it has now thinned out at the bottom and is just branches with no leaves, all the leafy growth is at the top of the lattice. Fortunately I have another plant growing in the ground from a branch I pegged down which is taking over as ground cover, and I have bought a pink flowering and a white flowering bush to fill in the middle (the original is blue flowering) so I will hopefully have what looks like one rosemary bush with multi-coloured flowers.
