Brownhill House Garden - Betula utilis Longtrunk
Dear Blogger
I have several messages for you today, I hope some of them will be useful.
This rain will mean our gardens are covered in weeds before we can blink - get them out NOW!

 Lots of people have planted veg for the first time this year, how is it coming on? If you were quick out of the blocks with your own DigYourOwnaForCorona campaign you may well be reaping some early rewards; we ate our first home grown lettuce, rocket and radish this weekend. Radish, like tomato, is one of those salad crops whose taste is almost unrecognisably better when picked fresh from the garden. But they only have a short window of this peppery succulence before they become woody, so keep sowing fresh batches every two weeks, then you'll always have them 'on tap' to go with a piece of nice cheddar and a crusty roll for your lunch. Yum! | |
  Suppliers are working hard to keep pace with demand for seeds and veg plants this year. If you'd like to support an independent nursery try the Cambridgeshire-based OrganicPlants. Their Lockdown Luckydip - three tomatoes and a cucumber (sounds like a good film!) - can be delivered in early May and they seem to have a good grip on when you'll get other orders. | | |
