Early june update


Hello,

Usual veggie reminder, and also to let you know that we have some coriander, spring greens, derby day cabbages, salad leaves, lettuce, fresh garlic, spinach and bean tops available from us and Penpont this week.

We have updated the website to include latest pictures of our adventures in pony drawn hoeing techniques. The food miles comparison data is also now on there.

Weather seems to have taken a slight downturn – we had about 5” of rain up here over the weekend, making it very difficult to get out and do anything in the fields. We have sown some green manure (clover and vetch) but need it to dry up a bit before we can roll/harrow it in. The low temperatures and light levels have also slowed down the growth on some of our plants considerably, but hopefully the weather will improve again.

Updated produce list is also attached – but keep checking the e-mails for new things coming on locally!

All the best
