Nursery bed.

Today saw the completion of the nursery bed. We have sowed Brussel Sprouts, Cabbage, Cauliflower and Kale and we have erected a mesh cage to protect the seedlings from birds and cats and maybe humans!!!! :-).

Spring sunshine!!

A busy day in the Spring sunshine mowing and tidying the plot for the growing season. I have put Strawberry plants in a Growbag by the shed as the fruit beds are not ready yet.


Poultry manure has gone into bed 3 as the carrots were late coming out and the Autumn sowing of Broad beans failed due to the harsh winter. I am going to use this bed as a nursery bed this year to bring on brassicas.
