I blame Spring for everything
The updates here are slim right now and I can only offer excuses. Firstly, a lot of what has been going on in the garden has been rather same samey, which can come across as repetitive and boring. I’m not…
Read MoreKnowing when to stop trying
Over the last few days, I’ve done a significant amount of harvesting, which is surprising considering we are at the end of the first week of winter. The first session was more a case of storm damage. The peas had…
Read MoreWhen does the new season start?
