Soaring temperatures and lots of watering
Posted in Category Organic Gardening by Stephanie on 19 June 2017We are experiencing one of the driest growing seasons in recent history in Stephanie's Kitchen Garden, along with soaring temperatures and hours and hours of glorious sunshine. We have spent many hours carrying watering cans keeping our crops happy and with their feet in damp soil and their heads in the sun, they are, on the whole, flourishing.
A busy week tying in plants to plant supports
Posted in Category Organic Gardening by Stephanie on 13 June 2017All around the garden this week, there are many plants that will need tying into their supports. Our blackberry is grown over an archway that suits its rampant growth. The plants seem to be growing as we watch at the moment and the new stems will need tying in to keep them supported. Currently they are just bursting into lovely pale pink blossoms and the bees are really enjoying them.
Earthing up Potatoes for final time
Posted in Category Organic Gardening by Stephanie on 5 June 2017This week we will be earthing up our potatoes for the final time. They are a really good size now and looking very lush and healthy. Hopefully the tubers are growing just as fast. We will be incorporating some potato fertiliser as we earth them up to give them a good feed at the same time.
Summer must be here we are planting out the Sweet Potatoes!
