A Winter's Day

Harvesting Pak Choi, spring greens, black kale, endive lettuce (also good for tortoises :), mustard leaf, swiss chard and plenty of spinach for market. Not so cold now and was prepared for standing around packing in a cold barn with an old wet suit thermal inner which I got cheap at a boot fair. Mega warm. Lots to pack up for market though. Not so many crops to harvest and things seem to be slowing up crops wise. Growers planted more in the polytunnels now though and garlic and broad beans are well away in the fields. Seeds are ordered and propagating tunnels at the ready. Have been reading about Russian Comfrey as it's apparantly as good as farmyard manure for feeding crops with. Must find out more.
