Well this is our 7th season of Veggie boxes and many of our customers have been with us from the start but we're always pleased to welcome our new ones and hope you'll enjoy our veg when we start deliveries all being well around the beginning of July
Not that we're sitting round doing nothing the Polytunnels have been tidied out the land ploughed (it's not as easy as it looks!!) and partially rotavated and thanks to many people we've a good supply of manure this year
Jeannette's filled the greenhouse with every sort of plant known to man and as ever struggling to find space for them all but fortunately another one is on the way..... just to add to the to do list....
I've also been busy building some attachments for our wee tractor. As we get 'more mature' physically (not mentally!!) the more machinery we can get to reduce backache etc the better.
but even more importantly to Colin Robertson Farmer and welder extraordinaire
- have a look at his horseshoe creations (Horseshoes Everlasting) on Facebook at :
We've built a Tattie planter some muck forks and in course of finishing a Plastic Mulch Film layer which currently looks like this
and ultimately will do this (or something like it !!) i.e. lay a drip tape for irrigation underneath
the mulch layer which is produced from corn starch so only lasts one season but can be ploughed in or composted
Anyway that's all for now folks hoping to keep this a bit more up to date this year !!!!!
