Now the winter solstice is past and the days are gradually getting longer I have started to think about spring. I had a busy Christmas break but manged to fit in sorting our seed stock. As we save our own seeds we always have lots (even one plat produces loads more seeds than we use in a year!) And now is the beginning of the time to sow them. Have sown in the poly tunnel - lettuce, rocket, radish, carrot, peas, spinach, red and white beetroot, pak choi and mizuna. Next week I will sow (in a propagator) tomato, pepper and indoor courgette. In the poly tunnel will go spring brascicas and a few leeks. Meanwhile in the wood the coppicing goes on and we are planting trees in the spaces opened up. I am starting to think the winter wont be long enough for all the jobs I have planned for it! (only joking)
Happy gardening (between snow)
