March 2023

This month has been all about planting seeds - oh so many seeds! And then potting them on. I have taken over the conservatory and it is now a germination and propagation room......

February 2023

This past month has been about raised beds - one from last year had an autumn planting of garlic, onions and shallots as sets - they are growing, despite being nibbled - presumably by deer. I'm not sure how a leek from last year ended up in the middle...

The second one has leeks still in situ, although these are being eaten (by me, not deer) :-) 

Deep mature applied for over winter (thanks to the goats and chickens). Willow and I made a little inspection.....

Husband has built a third raised bed, slowly being filled with soil.....

A fourth bed is under construction

January 2023

And so it begins.....with a bit of planning

Today is sorting through seeds, what have I left from last year,

what do I want to grow again,

what new things do I want to try?

I now have so many seeds, and so I have been making a plan;

what needs planting in which month

what is going to go where;

greenhouse, polytunnel, raised veg patches, growbags, pots....

so excited, I can't wait to get started - I'll try and post updates as the weeks / months go by

but so far, all I have is about three boxes of seeds, and a notebook (both occupied....see below)
