Tomatoes and basil are the complete combo and we have plenty of both in this week’s veg boxes. The basil is underplanted below the tomato vines in the polytunnels. French marigolds – tagetes patula – are also planted underneath to help attract beneficial insects and ward off pests.

We’re thrilled that our new insulated cool store is almost complete. The first bunches of elephant garlic bulbs have been hung up to cure until they’re ready to go in the veg boxes.

We’ll also be using the cool shed to store other crops like onions, beetroot, pumpkins, squash and apples until we need them.

Volunteers Nick and Stan constructed the insulated and predator-proof lean-to at the rear of our packing shed. They used timber and insulating materials financed by Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network (WREN) using money donated by local firm CleanEarth Energy. We’re extremely grateful to have friends and supporters like these.

Volunteers Nick and Stan are busy building us a new insulated cool store at the back of the packing shed on our site at Treraven Farm. We really appreciate their input as they’re both highly skilled and super efficient.

The store will be used mainly for winter storage of vegetables like squash, pumpkins, onions, beetroot and various root crops that are harvested earlier in the growing season. It will protect them from extreme temperatures and attacks from rodents until they are needed in the veg boxes. It’ll also be useful for storing apples once our newly-planted orchard becomes productive.

The timber and insulating materials were financed from Wadebridge Renewable Energy Network – WREN‘s community benefit fund with money donated by Wadebridge energy firm CleanEarth.
