What's Growing this month?
We're ready to start sowing the chillis and and a new crop of parsley, and we've bought some more Fertile Fibre Organic Seed Compost which we first used last year - it is peat-free based on coir, and approved by the Soil Association There will continue to be a good assortment of locally-grown root crops and greens available for the next few months, plus a little more salad leaf and parsley from our tunnels until spring arrives and it decides to bolt! Annual InspectionOur annual inspection by the Soil Association took place on 12 January and went very smoothly, culminating with the inspector concluding that Goosemoor is a 'very well-run horticultural operation', and found no cause for concern with either the production or the processing aspects of our business. Phew! |

Fortunately the land is much drier than it was a year ago, and the soil inside
our polytunnels remains very workable, and we
have been able to prepare some beds in time for the first of the 2009
crops.
