cook. You can sow directly into the soil, but I prefer to start almost everything off in pots to give them some strength to resist the slugs!

The stalks are marvellously coloured and can be white, as above, yellow, red, and orange, so they can look great in flower beds too!
Beetroot grows easily and stays in the ground over winter, so can be harvested without fuss. If left in the ground until the following spring, you will be able to harvest some young leaves from the plant too. Great in Juices too!

Blackcurrants…the gardens at Bealtaine are infested with them!
I have grown all of my Blackcurrant bushes from seed or cuttings!
I have a surplus of Blackcurrant cuttings at the moment and these are offered for sale at this link…
Chard I can grow but my spuds get bight, we have discussed this. I did grow one butternut! I hadn’t fed the soil I think. I look forward to your posts to see what is going on.
I simply love the walks around your gardens…I am anxious for our weather to be warm enough to really get my hands dirty. I do have a little green house now, so lots of plants are started!
take care,
Jess
Hi Jess, it’s amazing how quickly the Spring moves in…and there’s simply tons left to do from the Autumn and Winter, or so it goes here at any rate! Now is the time to get everything ready for the beautiful mayhem that is Spring!
