What have done towards your prep?

[Straight Shooter]

It’s time to start sowing some chillies and peppers ! .....they will need heat and light ....it’s always warm and steady at the homestead 22 c all day and night ....the window cill faces south but if needed I will extend the light with led light ...oh and some aubergines !

There’s plenty of other seeds to sow and I will post to let you know when and what I’m sowing .

Added some fish blood and bone to all the fruit trees and bushes this morning along with the rhubarb and mulched up . The three onion beds (sets) I planted back in late November are all doing well , I have covered them with polythene to give a bit more protection ......the garlic I planted is doing well in the open ground and to be honest garlic in the poly tunnel is not fairing much better .....the turnips are slow in there too ....the lettuce is slow on the hydroponics test rig ....I put this down to no heat .....but it’s enough to eat all the same .

The stored potatoes are all good , last of the onions were finished last week ......the stored apples are all good and firm .

I finished checking all the preps in store 2 and no further stuff was thrown out ......going to take the corned beef and tinned potatoes out the tins tomorrow ( the suspect ones I set aside ) and test them....if good I will turn them into pasties ! .

With all the systems set up last year we are looking forward to having a good crop this year ....on we go .
