The sun is shining but the wind has got a real bite to it today as I type this out, we have had some nasty weather since last month, Winter has reminded us that it can still give us problems even now in March. The cold weather has given us problems there has not been the growth in plants that we hope to see this time of year, The vegetable plants are behind but we hope to have these available for sale next week. In the field the daffodils are very slow to come into bud, they are keeping themselves tightly tucked away, the sprouting broccoli is also slow to grow.
In the farm shop at the moment we have got our own grown Leeks, Celeriac, Cabbage, Sprouting Broccoli, Kale, Rhubarb and Daffodils along with the usual fruit and veg selection. We have locally grown Potatoes and Onions direct from the farm so they have not got many food miles.
In the Glasshouse we have got a lovely selection of potted bulbs, primroses and polyanthus all grown here on the nursery. The first tomatoes will be pricked off this week, we have already got 3 batches of brassicas and lettuces pricked off and Toni is today sowing some more to give a continued supply through the season, all we need is some nice warm weather.
I hope when I do a blog next month i can talk about the lovely spring weather and how well everything is doing, until then stay warm.
