When you are able to visit us you will see that some significant changes have taken place in the former Potager, In place of the four large vegetable beds there is a central grass area with a small black reflective pool, four L shaped beds and two borders planted with White Iceberg Roses and Blue Hidcote Lavender.
Rob is also constructing a Summer House which will provide late afternoon shade should the sun return this summer.
Work started 3 Weeks ago when Tomato, Pepper, Chillies, Basil, Parsley and mixed Lettuces were sown in seed trays . All have germinated well and have been pricked out into small pots. Krypton Leeks have been sown in modules which I have found makes it easier to transplant into the ground.Outdoors, New Fen Globe and Red Onion sets are in the ground.
Beds have been prepared for Carrot Resistafly, Perpetual Spinach, Beetroot Bolthardy and Guardsman Salad Onions which will be sown in the upcoming weeks weather permitting
I am still harvesting forced Pink Rhubarb which will be sorely missed when it is finished.
Photos to follow shortly.
Best wishes to all.
