Signs of Spring
The days have gotten longer and warmer over the past few weeks, and it’s time to start transplanting some of my seedlings into my vegetable patch. Before I can start using the vegetable patch, I need to get it cleared and ready. It is a great feeling to start moving my seedlings out of the…
End of May. Sun, sowing and lockdown

Little and Often
We’re finally getting stable(ish) weather and and risk of frost is dropping with each day. With mostly consistent temperatures come better germination rates.
