Aren’t they doing well? The first of this year’s spring onions are in this week’s veg shares alongside last season’s Crown Prince squashes.

The spring onions are thriving in the polytunnels beside the overwintered mixed oriental leaves, rocket and lettuce which have put on a growth spurt.

We store the autumn squashes on slatted shelves in our frost and predator-proof cool store. They’ve done remarkably well to last till the beginning of March.

The recent spring sunshine has also enabled our growers and volunteers to press ahead with weeding the no-dig beds, spreading compost and preparing them for planting on our site at Treraven Farm, Wadebridge.

And not forgetting to finish replanting the Jerusalem artichoke bed!
