Come and have a little peak at what is happening in the Lochwinnoch Community Larder garden at Lochhead.
Highlight of this week is getting first crops into polytunnel, where we grow three varieties of tomatoes and Desert Spirit landrace squash!
While our polyculture beds are filled with peas, broad beans, French beans, onions, garlic, lettuce, chard, kale, beetroot, carrots, courgettes and radishes as well as some nasturtiums, garlic chives and rhubarb.
As well as growing fresh produce for the Larder we are growing some seed crops in this space. Seeds will be harvested, dried, stored and later redistributed throughout the Diggin' It Seed Libraries to you, our gardeners and growers in the local community! We are really excited about this part of our journey. Locally grown seeds growing in the gardens around us!
This years seed crops include:
Pea Robinson
Purple Mangetout
Ciliegia- Cherry Tomato
We might add in couple more as the season progresses.
Most of our produce is grown using wonderful Seeds of Scotland seeds, same seeds you find at our libraries here in Lochwinnoch, Johnstone and Beith.
What is growing in your garden? Let us know in the comments any favourites from the library so far?
