  1. North: SOWING

    walk amid furrows
    #sowing seeds into the dirt
    with the spring thaw

    South: WITHER

    see the flowers bloom
    then #wither as it turns cold
    life's not different

  2. Started my sowing at the weekend. It's odd. Every year I am determined not to grow anything other than the essentials - vegetables and a few annuals. And every year I end up with a planting list as long as my arm. Does this sound familiar???

  3. A new tool for the #marketgarden made mostly from workshop scraps: A wide #rake to mark drills for #sowing and #planting.
    Originally, I wanted to use the metal rake in the first picture for this, but the angle of the pins was just not right.

    So I made one from two pieces of batten, a handle bought (as a hoe) from a discounter for 7€, some wood dowels and a bit of hose.

    My beds are 80cm wide so the distance between the outer pins is 70cm. This way, I have 5cm to the edges on each side.
    There is a total of nine pins. Depending on the number of pieces of hose I put on, I can mark up to nine rows on the bed in one go.
    The bed has to be flat though, but here the metal rake comes handy.

    7€ and 1 1/4h work - I'm pretty chuffed.

  4. I've put in my order for peat-free compost from Dalefoot - ready for Spring sowing
    The composts are made in the Lake District from wool and bracken with added comfrey
    All good stuff
