The Head Gardeners (Jeannette) seedling tunnel - now 50% taken over with Tomato plants; it's so warm the camera keeps steaming up!!

 

These Onion sets were planted last October but have readily survived the winter and are looking great now. Should be ready to pull at the end of June fingers crossed

We love trying new things so this year we're giving 2 new Mulch materials a go. Every gardener surely hates weeding so anything we can do to reduce/eliminate the time spent weeding has got to be a huge bonus.

The first is a paper mulch incorporating a 'built in' fertiliser the second is a fabric made from Corn starch which looks like black plastic both of which last a season and then can be composted or rotavated into the plot.
You can find more information at http://www.mulchorganic.co.uk/

This week thanks to the fine weather we've rotavated
and planted outside Tatties Cauliflowers and Broccoli with Peas and Broad Beans to follow in the next few days weather permitting. The 300 Onions are doing well in the polytunnel...many more to follow and we've got plenty of bedding plants ready for our annual sale at Dinnet Hall on Saturday 18th May 10am till 12 noon
