I'm really peed off about it I have to say. The thought of 25 years of effort in my fruit and veg garden just reverting to wilderness is not nice

If the weather holds I'll be doing some prep digging this weekend. About time I pulled my finger out. Need to go get some potting compost but the garden centre will be heaving if it is nice weather...

Sounds like the chapel showing some good Christian spirit !

Bedwen plants Henllan, Llandysul

Is this place anywhere near you Gary - I have had a couple of orders from them and have been quite impressed.

The plant plugs arrived in very good condition and all the packaging was recyclable, including the plastic bags used to keep the moisture in.

That's the Llandysul in west Wales RT, I'm in Llandysul/Llandyssil near Welshpool/Trallwng.

Parsnip seeds are sown - it begins again.

Do you have success with parsnips? I've never managed to get them to grow from seed.

Funnily not tried for many years but this year I have started them in the greenhouse to see how they will do. There is a fault line between us and a keen gardening friend, we are only about a mile apart- His soil is light and friable ours is heavy clay ( as I would imagine it is round Bristol )- he gets really great results but my Dad did here so it can be done. I have gone no dig so it is all a bit of an experiment.
Will have to be super careful in planting the plugs to avoid root splitting.
I once was told to use a crowbar and make a hole in the ground,fill that with compost, then plant - never tried it though.
