Look at this incredi-stump! We chopped down a massive old chard in polytunnel a few weeks ago and its stump was so impressive that we left it there to admire! It's like a tree stump, but it wasn't over! THE STUMP HAS STARTED GROWING! chard is such a workhorse!

Also yesterday we had a great day getting the garden back to normal after the fair and planting, planting planting. The day was windy and the nights are still cold so we've held back the tender veg for outdoors but in the tunnels we've planted 10 types of tomatoes and our tomatillos in tunnel 1 and tunnel two has melons, watermelons, cucumbers, loofahs, achocha, yacon, chillies, peppers, sweetcorn (that we hope the badger doesn't find) and dahlias (that we hope that the slugs don't find) 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
