Leeks have had a great sunny week which will encourage them to grow - and they certainly are now! You would be amazed at the rate at which they grow after the worst of the Winter months/ beginning of Spring (no chemicals applied). This week there is a savoy cabbage in the box. They are starting to run a little low in the field and will probably last another two weeks then we will let the remaining ones grow on a little (no chemicals applied). Our carrots are still tasting great. We have decided not to harvest them and store them due to the affects the frost had on their storage ability so we will continue to harvest what we need every week until it becomes in-efficient. We currently have to grade about 40% of the crop out (no chemicals applied). Main crop potatoes have turned out to be crackers. We have a constant supply of these now until the weather in Spring allows us to move into new potatoes. This week’s variety in vilvado (blight control applied). The onion store is now empty so we are buying them in from North Devon. They are larger than ours and just as tasty! (no chemicals applied). Swedes are nice and large now and taste good now the frost has got to them (no chemicals applied). Cauliflowers are in the boxes again this week. They are from the same drilling as last week and as you will see they are bigger. Next week they will be bigger again, especially with the good weather we are promised! (no chemicals applied). Baby leeks join the boxes again this week. We will keep these in the boxes for a few weeks now before they also decide to rapidly grow and lose their sweet flavour. We got the first drillings of broad beans in on Thursday and will be taking a little bit of a risk by putting sugar snap peas in this afternoon. It is a little early but I think with the way weather patterns have been over the last few years sugar snap peas will flourish. We have got the land ready for the early/new potatoes and are due to plant them on Monday afternoon. Its all happening now! There is an article in the Western Morning News tomorrow called “living in a box”. I have yet to read it of course but I am told it is an interesting read about the boxes from both ourselves and a few others. Ben.
