Home Grown Talk

This weekend we 'got going with grow your own'. It doesn't stop at vegetables. Home produce includes indispensable herbs for cooking and seasoning, fruit bushes and trees and amongst this we are thrifty to include all the perennial plants that we do not need to replant annually.

There are plenty like rhubarb, wild garlic, horseradish and sorrel. There are also a lot more edible plants than most people realise. We even have wasabi plants and a new bed of edimentals to challenge you. There are useful tips like soil and seed perorations, pollinators and companion plants.

Garden school is a great place to gain a little more gardening confidence with no exam. We always start with refreshments in the Tipi and hopefully you leave inspired.

 It’s the beginning of the veg growing season so we are putting out our seeded veg range weekly but currently broad beans, brassicas and legumes early tomatoes for the green house and strawberries are the hotties.

Its great planting weather, certainly time to get going whether you’re seeding or planting.

I am going to risk a few early potatoes! There is nothing like the home grown first crop.
