Steaming hot and stinky


Three Cheers to Olus, the local Green Waste company who keep us supplied with compost. We have got through 50 tonnes so far this year and there is another 20 waiting to be spread. The weather has been frustratingly wet. Good for watering plants, but terrible for planting.

Catching up

A wet spring has meant that we have been racing to keep up. We did not plant green manures over the winter so there has been alot of bed preparation to do. Its taken shape. Thanks, Sky, for the pictures.Meanwhile in the greenhouse we have hundreds of peppers and tomatoes and cucumbers. They have all grown magnificently and our first cucumbers are due this week. Here is the greenhouse just after Sky had planted over 100 tomatoes. He is having a well deserved rest before he starts on the peppers and cucumbers.
