Thanks to Conscious Creations for those magnificent oak handles!
Pure joy testing the wheel hoe, one of the most ergonomic tools I've ever used!
This investment will definitely cut the hours spent weeding on our hands and knees.
The oscillating hoe is in contact with the soil and slices the weeds just below the surface-causing minimal soil disturbance and eradication of weeds. Conscious Creations

Do you have any Yellow Cellar slugs in your garden? The RHS - Royal Horticultural Society are urging people to check their gardens.

Slugs play an important role in helping to break down your compost, and they also eat other slugs. You can read more about slugs on our website https://bit.ly/2FyDmJJ

With many parts of the country still experiencing frosts at night, it’s still too cold to plant potatoes. Wait a while and let the soil warm up.

Then create furrows just less than a metre apart, place the spud in the bottom, with sprouts pointing up, and cover with a shallow layer of soil. As the green shoots appear, pull the excess soil beside the furrow to cover them.

It's that exciting time of year when seed starts ripening thick and fast 🙂 Below are the first few umbels of Manchester Table carrot seed ready to harvest in the tunnel.

We've just harvested the tree onions - they're drying nicely in the barn, and we've got a few of the earliest ones packed up now.

We found lots of little baby lizards while we were clearing up in front of the tunnel - they move very fast, but one stayed still long enough for a photo.

Some of the flowers we've got growing amongst the vegetables on our fields at the moment - great for the bees, and some of them are edible too.
