Here we are again another month has passed us by and spring is getting closer, the sun has been lovely today but we still had the biting wind but they tell us we are going to warm up as the week goes on.
The first broad beans are now showing there heads thinking is it safe to emerge from this pot! I will prick the first Lettuce, Cabbage and Calabrese seedlings out this week so hopefully the first vegetable plants will be ready mid March. We have got Cauliflowers, Leeks, Shallots and early Tomatoes sown.
We have got primrose’s in pots at £1.20 each in the glasshouse now showing flower, along with boxes 0f 12 polyanthus at £4.50 per box, so why not add a little spring colour to that windowsill or in those dull looking borders.
In the news we keep hearing about the shortage of Spanish crops such as Calabrese, Courgettes and lettuce, this is because they have had unseasonable weather. There is no need to worry because we have got plenty of seasonal English crops at the moment. In the farm shop we have got our own grown Sprouting Broccoli, Leeks, Celeriac, Cauliflowers and 4 different varieties of Cabbage along with the English Parsnip, Swede, Turnip and Sprouts so there is no shortage of vegetables to put on the plate.
The marmalade production has been in full swing and we now have Seville marmalade, Three fruits marmalade, ginger marmalade and a Lemon and Lime marmalade, so if you didn’t get round to making your own we have got plenty of jars available.
We have had a few people asking about horse feeds, this is not something we stock but we can get to order, just pop in the shop and have a chat with us.
So with all we have going on at the moment why not pop in and see us and see what we have to offer.
