March already ....


Well March has snook up on me already .... soon be Christmas! With the nights getting lighter it means I will be able to go down to the lottie at night and do an hour or so that should make no end of difference.
As you can see "The Natch" has take to the greenhouse game like duck to water, I think the fan heater just out of shot helped make her mind up






On the Veg front, I've got my seed tatties nicely chitting and have put some plastic down to try and warm the ground enough for an early sowing of peas
I thought I'd try Avola as it's a quick maturing one for a start.










The Broad beans are doing well in their Warm box ( sort of open topped coldframe) but it does shelter them from the winds & I have made a cloche (see above) out of plastic roofing to try an dry the soil out enough to get an early sowing of carrots underway. The Chrysanth cuttings are coming on now & I've just Started off the Dahlia tubers. along with some early french beans destined to be grown under glass and my precious red flowered Broad beans - these will be grown at home I think away from the Super Aquadulce ones.



And finally the Hative shallots look as though they are ready to go out now as well.
