This year Camel CSA’s growers started planting onion sets in early April. Last year it was mid March.

Over the last 12 months we’ve survived some very hostile weather conditions. These prevented us from preparing the ground at times. Some crops failed, others ran out early or went to seed too soon.

Thanks to our professional growers, the broad beans and peas planted under a fleece a month ago are starting to grow well.

Three different types of leeks have been sown. Lettuce and various brassica seedlings, including broccoli and cauliflower, are about to be planted out.
