Here we are another month has passed us by, and hopefully after a cold wet spell the weather is changing for the better, last week we had three seasons in one week it was lovely to feel the sun on your back and watch the plants decide that it was time to come to life again.
The weather really helped us on the nursery, we have now got Broad Beans, Cabbages, Cauliflowers, Calabrese, Beetroot, Chard, and Lettuces all planted out in the field. In the glasshouse Toni has been very busy and now has a selection of Bedding and Basket plants, Tomatoes, Peppers and Cucumbers for sale in the glasshouse but please remember these plants still need frost protection. There is a selection of shrubs and periennials also ready now, now is the ideal time to fill those gaps in the beds and borders to give you colour year after year.
The full selection of block and pot raised vegetables are ready to plant out to give you those nice fresh summer crops, you are best to plant little and often to give you a continued supply throughout the summer. To see what to be planting now please see out planting list.
In the Farm Shop we have all the usual Fruit and Vegetables, along with locally grown Aspargus and Strawberries for that little treat, we must enjoy the aspargus while it is here as the English season is a short one. We are pulling Rhubarb daily and now is a good time to get some in the freezer ready for the winter months, if you would like any for freezing please give us a ring and we can have it ready for you to collect the next day. The wild birds are still eating well, we usually find that the food sales drop off this time of year but this year it is still selling very well. We have the full range in stock and anything we dont stock we can get on request.
Well I am now going to prick off some more seedlings so more next month.
