| A very busy July has emptied our tables of seedlings. All have now been transplanted to seedling beds, where we hope they grow on vigorously, although they are in competition with a constant invasion of weeds. Regular applications of nettle fertiliser and liquid seaweed food will hopefully give the seedlings strong and leafy growth ...ideal at this time of year. |  |
Very contrasting weather days mean the seedlings have to be protected from the fierce sun, on the odd day the sun is visible.
The cold winds and rain also have their affect on plant growth, especially at this early stage. Watering, not watering, plus covering up and uncovering. Second guessing an English summer is never easy, but this one is proving especially difficult.
Luckily we have an excellent group of keen volunteers who are nurturing the seedlings through their early stages of development.
