Spring Time at Berryfields

The carrots we sowed in the first week of April have now germinated and at a very good rate. Nearly 100 % success. All we have to do now is to keep the dreaded carrot fly away.

These seedlings are undercover. Sowed in bed number 3 with a cloche covering the while bed to warm up the soil.

Into this seed bed, we also have sowed parsnips and swede.

The garlic have also put on a spurt this year, must be due to the very mild spring we are having.

These have been planted in bed number 1 with salad and spring onions.

Leeks have also been sown in the Greenhouse. These have just germinated and so will be a while before they are planted out.

The leeks from last year are still being pulled and eaten every week,
