Field Update

it’s starting to come along now... the rain has helped, extra hands working hard today to get the grass cut and rose polytunnel ready for its cover (Thank you Ian and Nigel!) and Martyn has nearly finished the water storage and then it’s onto the irrigation system.

I won’t gush about the mahoosive stack of rotten muck from our brilliant neighbours; although I know some of you will totally ‘get’ me (so many lovely worms!) I realise it’s possibly a step too far for those of you who are more interested in the actual flowers... so you’ll be pleased to know that the Big Polytunnel is planted up with later summer favourites - things like dahlia, flouncy aster, flouncy chrysanthemums and some (very pretty) borlotti beans. 

We’ve got about 20 beds outside filled with perennials, biennials and some annuals too. There’s so much more to do: there aren’t enough hours in the day, I’m planting out things that in normal circumstances would be flowering now, but it is what it is... there are, it turns out, bigger things to worry about.
