Here we are and another month has passed us by, where is the year going? Life here has been very busy in the shop and on the nursery which is how we like it.
In the field Sally has been busy with planting,watering and maintaining crops, but her major problem again has been wildlife, the whole site is now fenced in but the Hares are still coming in, we think they are jumping the fence between us and the A14 for there nightly feast, Sally has now spent many hours putting up more barriers and we have not had any visits in the last few days so we hope this has stopped them.
Toni has been busy in the glasshouse with all the summer bedding and basket plants, she still has a selection for sale along with various periennials, Cucumbers, herbs and vegetable plants. Our tomato and cucumber plants are all potted up and growing. We are now picking our first cucumbers and the tomatoes won’t be far behind. To see which vegetbale plants are available at the moment please see our planting calendar page.
Our farm shop is now filling up with our own grown and locally produced fruit and vegetables. We are currently harvesting pointed cabbage, 5 varieties of lettuce, beetroot, chard, rhubarb, parsley and Sweet Williams. We will have a continued supply of our own produce during the summer, we have got cauliflowers, calabrese, broad beans, dwarf beans, runner beans, marrows, courgettes all planted out and growing, they just ask for a nice steady rain.
We have got locally produced Maris Bard new potatoes from Brantham along with strawberries, asparagus. Local raspberries will be available from Friday 8th June.
So with everything that is happening here at the moment why not pop along and see us. We are open 8am – 5.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10am – 4pm on a Sunday. We hope to see you soon.
Sally, Steven and Toni
