Today I've been excitedly inspecting our glasshouse crops which are all coming along and almost ready for the first harvest on the 2nd of June for our CSA members. If you want to be eating fresh, local veg then contact jenny@schoolfarmcsa.org.uk and check out this tiny Broad Bean from outside!
Almost xmas?!
Tuesday was another amazingly productive day, with lots of weeding, and lots of seedlings being planted out. Can you believe we planted out 10cm high Brussel Sprout seedlings? Xmas isn't far away. 😉 Below isn't a farm wedding veil, it's crop mesh to protect our babies from overzealous munching by pests.
Sowing seeds
Amazing apprentices
3 days later…
I've got an amazing tan… and had to work all weekend… but luckily had 4 volunteers that came out and helped the CSA sort out the new field ready for planting up. Thank you to Chris, Mel, Sonia and Monika (with shout outs to Hannah and Lou & Dan for offering). Another job jobbed – one step closer to harvest!
Sad goodbye…
Plan A
Volunteer day
Another lovely day on the farm. We had some amazing volunteers who helped us prepare for planting a new hedgerow (come this Saturday from 11am-2pm to help), and helped by preparing a bed and then sowing it with mange tout peas. Thank you everyone for your time! What a great vibe to have such lovely people on the farm on a sunny/blustery day. 🙂
