It has been a while since I updated the latest news, the days just seem to go so quickly at this time of the year. Life here has been busy for us all over the last few weeks. Sally is still very busy in the field, Toni is busy again in the glasshouse getting ready for the autumn bedding and Steven is kept busy in the shop.
Sally is still busy in the field harvesting, planting and maintaining the growing crops, nature has helped her with the little and often rain we have had, saving her time sorting irrigation. The white butterflies are getting about and she now has to keep a look out for the eggs on the brassicas we dont want crops full of caterpillars.
Toni is busy in the glasshouse getting the autumn bedding ready. She has got Stocks and forget me nots ready now, pansies will hopefully be in ready in around 2 weeks time. The wallflowers are all pricked off now and the first plants will be for sale in the next few days.
