This week we have planted out over 500
courgettes, summer and winter squash and pumpkins.
As the site is quite windy we have also planted out a belt of sweetcorn to grow up and provide shelter to our delicate baby plants. Our co-farmers in the Rural Care department have kindly made us a scarecrow to keep those pesky corn eating birds at bay!
This really is a manic month, with thousands upon thousands of young module grown plants being transplanted out to their final growing site on the field – we’re planting cauliflowers, kohl rabi, fennel, spring onions, herbs, leeks, I could go on but I really should get out of the office and carry on planting!
