In the kitchen garden Richard has also been busy potting on lots of plants and planting up his greenhouse in order to grow food. Chef Scott is also back with another tasty recipe.

Allotment update: Springing into action

Down on Richards allotment, Richard has been cutting the grass over the last couple of weeks. Not the most exciting of tasks but this week Richard has made this task a little easier by investing in some new strimmer line for his ryobi grass strimmer and adding a bigger battery to his collection of ryobi batteries. This has made the grass cutting task much easier.

Added to that Richard has also tended to his over wintered garlic and onions. They are starting to show signs that they are springing into action. But they needed a good feed and with the dry spell we have had lately a good watering.

Kitchen Garden Update: Greenhouse is go.

Back at home Richard has been busy sowing more seeds, pricking out more seedlings and potting up young plants. All of which is taking up precious space!!

However there is light at the end of the tunnel as the weather has improved and temperatures inside the grow house and tunnel now means that young plants can live in this 2 places. With that Richard has moved plants into these areas freeing up space indoors.

Not only that with the greenhouse now war, enough Richard has planted some young veg plants into the autopot system in the greenhouse. Richard trailed the autopot system last year and was so impressed with the result he decided to expand upon it this year.
