Here we are again, another month has passed us by and we are hopefully heading towards Spring, the snowdrops are now in flower, Daffodils are showing bud and yesterday I see the first crocus in flower all signs that the plants are coming out of hibernation. The birds are singing and will soon be looking to nest.
So with all what nature is doing it is now time for us to start another growing season, Toni has got the first Broad Beans sown, the cabbage, cauliflower, lettuces and first tomatoes are now germinated and will need pricking off in the next week so hopefully the first brassica and lettuce plants will be available from mid March and Tomatoes for early to mid April. We now do a succession of sowings so plants will be available until mid September.
In the farm shop we have all the usual range of Fruit and Vegetables, along with our own grown Leeks, Sprouting Broccoli, Sprouts, Borecole, Beetroot, Cabbage and Parsley. We have got local grown cut daffodils and will be picking our own soon. With the cold weather we have been having the wild bird feed range is very popular, we stiock mixed seed, sunflower hearts, black sunflower seed, peanuts, niger seed and fat balls. Our feeds are available in various size bags from 1kg up to the 20kg sacks.
In the glasshouse we have got a selection of potted spring flowering bulbs, including Tete a Tete, Hyanciths and Snowdrops. The Primroses are now coming into flower and these are available as individual pots of as planted bowls, these are always popular for Mothers day gifts Also now available is a selection of house plants to give a bit of colour indoors.
For those of you wanting to get your first seeds sown we have our full range of compost, these are in 40ltr, 60ltr and 75ltr bags and we will always put them in your car for you, just ask.
Hopefully next time I write this blog Spring will have sprung.
