One thing we've discovered recently is that the most fertile area of the whole plot is clearly the paths, so we thought it might be a good idea to put some weed suppressing matting down. We covered this (well Lucy did) with bark chip, and the whole plot now looks quite smart as a result.
Latest crop news
The runner beans shoots are starting to break through the soil, the lettuces are ready for harvesting (as is the Swiss chard if you like the smaller leaves) and the tomato plants are looking OK after a few days of sunshine and warmer temperatures. Oh, and the Jerusalem artichokes are looking healthy. In addition, I sowed a row of spring onions seeds about a week ago and they've sprouted already!
First produce! A lettuce picked and ready to eat. It's perfect, except for a few holes. And as I always say, "You can't eat the 'oles!"
