The unseasonably warm weather in north Cornwall at the moment is putting us under a lot of pressure.

Our many and varied jobs this weekend include: –
• Planting out the broad beans from the cold frame
• Sowing clusters of beetroot Boltardy outside
• Planting more onion sets
• Sowing a bed of French beans in the polytunnel
• Sowing tomatoes in modules
• Sowing half a tray of summer cabbages

We need to set up the cold frames, cut the grass and thoroughly water the early crops in the polytunnels. We also have to complete a couple of other important jobs we didn’t have time to get done last weekend.
