Late Winter potatoes
Back in January I took some of the green Charlotte potatoes that I saved from last year’s harvest and put them into bags of compost in the greenhouse. By mid-February they were starting to sprout. And by the tail end … Continue reading
It’s time to start weeding again
And I’ve only just finished the last pass through the veg plot! Winter being so mild has meant that an awful lot of weeds didn’t die off when they would normally have done so and having weeded pretty thoroughly at … Continue reading

No dig diary, 22nd January 2026
Checked on the peppers under the growlight this lunchtime and they seem to be doing well. This one is quite odd though. It has four leaves at the top of the stem! Obviously I’m going to leave it to see … Continue reading
Compost spreading time
