Early starts to beat the heat.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We’ve been starting at 6.30 this week as physical work is tiring outside all day in this weather!
Here’s the prepared seedling furrows spread with lime and then compost before the irrigation pipes are covered and the seedlings planted.

Come & have a beautiful day out in the bush on Sunday and stroll round the stalls outside & stalls inside the beautiful new hall in the school’s grounds. Peats Ridge Road runs from Calga to Somersby, both well marked interchanges on the M1.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Probably due to vigilant watering & the very hot days interspersed with cooler ones, the mustards, salad greens,  kale, rocket, lettuce, Horta mix, baby spinach, lemon sorrel, chard, ….. all looking very good.

The tomatoes are flowering and the corn is shooting up![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”2801,2808,2802,2803″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Steve and Josh is picking baby spinach & Rhianna is picking rocket.
