A little greenhouse update for everyone who has ordered or enquired about plants 🌱 🌱

the cold weather has held everything back a bit but overnight temperatures are looking warmer from tonight so the plants should push on now. Pre-ordered cucumbers will be ready to collect this week but we're now looking at the weekend of 30th/31st May for moving the rest out onto the stall, just right for planting out at the start of June.

On the way we've got more tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes, squash, pumpkins and flowers like cosmos, marigolds and zinnia that will flower right through the summer and into the autumn.

If you'd like to pre-order any just send us a message, we'll post a full list of varieties soon.

In the meantime, there are still carnations, sweet Williams and rudbekia ready for planting, along with cut flower flower jars and our jams and chutneys

thanks again everyone for visiting 🌼

The shelves are a lot emptier than they started but we've still got plenty of plants available. A few varieties were particularly popular but there's a second batch coming along nicely in the greenhouse 🌱 so if you're looking for Outdoor Girl, Golden Sunrise, Black Opal or Artisan Golden Bumblebee they should be back on the stall in the next week or so, or send us a message to reserve

The first batch of tomato plants is nearly ready for the stall now 🍅

We've moved them out of the heated greenhouse and are getting them used to the cooler nights in the polytunnel, so you know they'll be in great condition once they make their way to the stall this weekend.

We're excited about our mix of varieties this year (see the last pic for the list), some of our old favourites and some new ones that we're looking forward to trying out too. Cherry, salad and plum types in a range of colours and options for growing under cover and outside.

Found a bit of time today to practice the recipes for our upcoming jam making and preserving workshop, where we'll be learning different preserving techniques by making a classic fruit jam and a pickle.

Today I went for raspberry jam and red onion relish but we will adapt the recipes to suit your own favourite ingredients if you are able to join us on Saturday 13th June at Sawston Village College.
