I'm guessing that you won't be quite as excited as we are to watch the grass growing in the backyard at the new house at Struan Farm? It's a fun time!
I raked the area and spread seed about two weeks ago after it was graded and topsoil spread. We've had a good mix of warm weather and light rain since then, basically ideal conditions for a new lawn, and here's the good news:
The veggies are taking off as well. The green beans, corn, cavolo nero/kale, radishes, broccoli, fennel, purple cauliflower, purple carrots, spring onions, beets, swiss chard, and various types of lettuces and spinach are sprouting, while the tomato and zucchini/cucumber/squash seedlings I planted are also happy.
Can't wait to be eating and cooking with just picked veggies from our gardens, watch this space!
