Full team out again today! and a marathon weeding session at the Walled Garden, Mark and Alan have been hand weeding rows of leeks and Tracy’s been weeding the spring onions.

Everything is growing so well at the Walled Garden and with the rain in the past week so are the WEEDS! It’s a never ending job but just part and parcel of Organic growing!

We are now harvesting large quantities of Veg from the Walled Garden for our Box Scheme and North East restaurants and getting such good feed back.

Above is a row of Courgettes which we are harvesting at the moment, we have 4 varieties growing here – Parador – Eight Ball – Zuchini and One Ball.

Cucumbers are growing well in one of the Polytunnels and are forming fruits now, we have around 160 planted here and should be harvesting soon!

Winter Squash is growing well in tunnel no2 and lots of fruits appearing on the plants.
