Another month has gone past and I can not believe that we are nearly at the longest day, everybody is busy at the nursery at the moment. Sally is still having her battle with the wildlife, which is very depressing for her to see all the hard work she is putting into the crops being eaten by hares, rabbits and pigeons. We are now having to spend out on a 6 foot fence to hopefully keep the hares and rabbits out. We are harvesting each day along with planting and maintaining the crops, watering as and when needed, although nature has helped out in the last few days.
Toni has still got a selection of bedding and basket plants available in the glasshouse. We have also got hostas, lavender, hollyhock’s, lupin’s and a selection of herbs. We have got a full selection of vegetable plants, to see what we have available at the moment please see our planting calendar. The glasshouse has now got the tomato and cucumber plants in it, the first tomatoes are now set and won’t belong before we start to pick them, we are already picking the first cucumbers.
In the Farm Shop we have got plenty of lovely fresh produce, we are harvesting daily so the food miles field to shelves, you can’t yet fresher than that. We have also got local new potatoes, Strawberries, Raspberries and cherries in the shop now
We are currently harvesting daily:
Lettuce 5 different varieties

SO why not pop along and see us, and try our fresh grown produce and talk to us about crops to follow on throughout the season.
