Covering it up

It seemed like such a good idea at the end of last season to grow cover crops on the beds as they came empty, with little thought to my spring self.   So what if they add so much value to the soil, to replace lost nutrients, add much needed organic matter and even, it is said, do special jobs like lupin adding extra nitrogen or … Continue reading Covering it up

In anticipation of the impending seed sowing season, I have cleaned my greenhouse.I took everything out, dusted and swept out every nook and cranny.Then I washed the benches and rinsed them down with a disinfectant.Once that dried I treated the wood with a linseed oil and kerosene mix. I'm going to let this all soak in for a couple of days and let the air clear before organising everything back into their spots.It always feel great to start the season with a spotlessly, hygienically clean greenhouse. It is like flipping a seasonal reset switch as the detritus of the last season has been cleared away and the new season is full of possibilities.Not long now. : o) ... See MoreSee Less

But who's gonna argue with a kumara.It also means we need to eat a lot more kumara to get through them before they all start sprouting. : o) ... See MoreSee Less
