It has been a while since I last done an update, the time just goes by so fast. I can not believe that we are into March where has the time gone.
We have been busy seed sowing and pricking off the first vegetable plants, these will be available from Saturday 9th March for those of you who keen to get planting and like getting the early crops. We have rhubarb crowns which you can plant out now and will be able to harvest a small amount this year (they are best left to get established for the first year) and then next year you can harvest the whole crop.
The glasshouse is full of spring colour, the potted primroses look lovely at the moment, there are also some mixed bowls planted up for those of you who want instant colour. The perennials are not far behind the warm weather we had in February really brought everything on.
We are harvesting purple sprouting broccoli, white sprouting broccoli, cabbages, borecole, parsley, celeriac, leeks and beetroot. We have Desiree, Maris Piper and Nadine potatoes grown locally, so the food miles are all very low.
The daffodils we grow in the field are being picked daily so are always fresh and priced at 65p per bunch you can have spring colour indoors at very little cost.
As from Saturday 30th March the summer hours resume, we will then be open Monday – Saturday 8am – 5.30pm and Sunday 9am – 4pm.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
