My usual morning routine now is to cycle the country lanes for an hour or two before gardening
Started to clear the polytunnel ready for the summer crops, 1/4 of it per week now until mid May
Also clearing outdoor beds ready for brassicas
Clearing brassicas (PSB) to make way for Beetroot and Peppers
Old PSB bed warming up ready for peppers
Also planted the early dwarf and climbing French beans in the polytunnel
Long cycle ride this morning, followed by a seed sowing and seedling re-arranging afternoon.
I love riding through farmland
I don’t much like sowing seeds, so I’m pleased to finish the seed sowing for April, the busiest month of the year. Next month is much more relaxed!
Lots of sowing today
Also planted the last of the summer peas
Three successions of peas, growing well between their strings
Second harvest of the early cucumbers
Cycling the fields for an hour this morning, I love to watch the farms change each week
Lots of planting today
