Isn't Life Wonderful

Oh the joys of Spring

Spring in the greenhouse

Its Mid Spring and everything is growing well. And looks very tidy too.

View from the Kitchen Window

This picture was taken from the kitchen window in Mid Spring, note the daffodils and wild primrose in pots.

Broad Beans in Late Spring

These Broad Beans were sown in Mid Spring in the greenhouse and planted out in a mini poly tunnel (design based upon one of Geoff Hamiltons ideas).
Sluggs were, and still are, a major problem then so I put a ring of coarse gravel around each plant. This really helped.

Strawberries, this year, were brought into the greenhouse in Mid Spring, to encourage an early crop. These were plants I dug up from last years planting as I needed the space for the four raised beds, shown here with mini poly tunnels to warm up the soil.

Planting out the rasberry canes. Notice the well rotted farmyard manure used as a mulch.
