Just thought I would offer a quick update. We opened for Guests last Wednesday and things are going well and the Guests are great. There was a lot of hard work getting the house and gardens ready for opening. Ran out of gravel and MBS couldn’t delivery any so the …
I’ve finally added the raised beds. All in. Just filling them with Seaweed before topping them off with compost. It seems like I have been doing them forever – and that’s probably because I have. Lost my first sowing of Tomatoes and Cucumbers. Over heated in a room that is …

It’s been very cold of late and we’ve had a bit of snow, although not as much as other parts of the country. Still it’s been pleasant. Started planting for some early crops and the early peas have started coming through well. Need to pot them on and then prepare …
