Things are growing!

After our break in Bordeaux, we went up to the farm yesterday to see if there were any signs of life in the polytunnel or on the plot. Much to our surprise and delight, some of the seeds we had had germinated and started sprouting: we have onion, bean and carrot plants! Not only that, but most of the potatoes had sprouted too.

We picked up the green netting we had ordered from one of our fellow landsharers so we need to come back in the week to cover them up and maybe to plant the onions out as well.  The second polytunnel is now covered and up and running, which means people wil be able to spread their planting out a bit.

World cup fever also seems to have hit Hilltop, albeit in a low-key way...

Finally, we stopped to pick up our allocation of free-range eggs from Val - some interesting colours going on!

All the best,

Mike G.
