    It's all go in the veg department ...

    It's that time of year that all the hard work starts to pay off. Outdoor tomatoes in their windproof cage ... and with fruit; Red currents appearing; flowers on the broad beans and the start of the kohl rabis season. #gyo #growyouown #sustainablefood #thegoodlife #smallholdinglife #smallholders #welshsmallholders #welshsmallholding #radnorforest

    Prepared for a mini-winter

    The veg garden has been temporarily ( I hope) wrapped up again after forecast of snow and minus temperatures over the next few days. As the potatoes are in raised beds; it is harder to 'earth up' so i cover them with straw. This year we have Earliers and 2nd Earlies so they can be grown closer together. They have had an extra layer of straw to help protect from the frost. Unfortunately the peas will have to take their chance as the pea sticks are in place. Hopefully there w

    New compost bins ...

    The OH, commonly known as 'He That Can Build Things' came up trumps again with two new compost bins for me. The old one is full and needs turning and now it can + a spare one! Compost will be moved once the rain decides to stop ... #smallholding #smallholder #compost #makeyourowncompost #GYO #growyourown #veggies #vegetables #Wales #welshweather #theforestsmallholding #radnorshire

    Shelters

    Building of shelters is ongoing. Although we have a lot of trees and hedgerows; give sheep a shelter and they will use it. So the OH / 'He That Can Build Things' is busy constructing shelters. And here it is 4th one done; only 2 or 3 more to go!. Sheep have already christened it during the rain last night. Just keep telling myself when mucking it out: 'its good for the garden ...' #shelters #diy #100usesforpallets #sheep #sheepshelter #jacobsheep #wales #Radnorshire #Rad
