Time to see what your made of

The time has come upon us on our little journey to start our first years growing of plants. We cannot believe it has arrived so quickly yet so much has gone on already, but as this goes to press our little plug plants are sat in a grow room getting nice and strong ready for us to take care of them in 21 days time. We have settled on scarlett trailing begonias and a mix of trailing Surfinia for this years baskets. The garlic is coming on a treat since going in in November, we were a little worried as not much seemed to be happening in the way of germination but seeing that little bud of green emerge out of the ground has laid all fears to rest thank goodness, really looking forward to lifting that in the summer and seeing whats been going on under the ground for the past few months and selling it to you guys!
 Some possible good news on some land for us as well as we are currently 'between places' at the moment but are very grateful to be there. We have to have a final visit from the polytunnel company that are building our tunnel to give the land the go ahead but its looking really good.  If thats a go'er then we will be putting the tunnel up in august of this year but growing a whole wonderful summer season of veg on half an acre which will be fantastic. We are also looking forward to our opening show at holy trinity hall with all our local businesses who just happen to be friends, a great injection into the faded arm of our community.
 On the food side of things i have perfected my spearmint and chili natural tea mix and that will also be available from us this year and got bought a cider press by my lovely family so can look forward to making use of the orchard of apples we have at our disposal this year :) I did try some of my september batch of cider a few nights ago.........it was good....very good. Looking forward to 'perfecting' that as well.
 A bit of a brief insight today but come march 5th you will all be inundated with pictures and videos of everything that we have FINALLY got going on.
Looking forward to it
BIG SOUL PATCH LOVE
