Spring must be here?

Well things are really starting to grow now indoors at least; a lovely 22 degrees in the Polytunnels and flower plant seedlings are doing well for our plant sale in May. 

The onions too are shooting and as soon as we get the outside veg 'patch' harrowed and rotavated  they and the 75 kilos of seed tatties will be going in!!

That will be another busy day....
 

No 2 polytunnel almost complete

and No 2 tunnel almost complete I always get the easy job sitting in the wee tractor whilst the MD (Jeannette) does the physical bit but I am a bit older LOL!!!!
2 down 1 to go.....

Polytunnel No 2 almost up...

well there's Poly tunnel no 2 almost up .......think we'll sleep well tonight and finish it off tomorrow..

This is where it all starts....

and we're off this is where it all starts folks.... with plantings and sowings the first of about 2000 onions for our customers this year sets and seeds.... and Polytunnel No 2 roped with Clingons** to grip the polythene ........ fingers crossed the forecast for little or no wind tomorrow is accurate....if not you may hear some swearing!!!!

Thanks to our neighbour Will Tulloch the veg patch is now beautifully ploughed. Harrowing next and then we can get onto it with our wee tractor and rotavator

500 hedging trees arrived yesterday as well so it's going to be busy.........
