We have a lush mustard crop in February 2023 in the small tunnel. We will use the mustard as a green manure crop, incorporating the nitrogen rich greens back into the soil.
The big polytunnel now contains a diverse selection of leafy winter greens. Now in mid February 2023 we have flowering Broad Beans, Spinach, Chard, Kale, Pak Choi, Mizuna, Fennel, Winter Lettuce and Landcress.
We’ve had such a wet and chilly March and now…in early April 2023 we are fully grateful for a warm sunny day and a small rise in temperature so we can get on with planting more tasty food. Gardening skills are encouraged for people of all ages and experience.
The wind turbine works alongside the solar panels to provide all the power we need to run electrical devices. We turned the wind turbine off during the strong winds created by Storm Eunice in February 2022
We have planted trees and flowers on the hillside that our native pollinators find attractive. We hope to record and catalogue the range of pollinator species that visit the Farm.
