Half way through June and I couldn’t be happier with the progress so far, I have had very little die out on me and we have already been reaping the rewards of our planting. We have enough lettuce being produced now that we shouldn’t have to buy any from supermarkets for the rest of summer. [...]

All coming along nicely…
Yep, everything is going very well at the moment. I haven’t had any other plants die on me and even the pests have stayed away for the most part so far. We seem to be getting a great strawberry harvest every other day for such a small plot. The row of runner beans at the [...]

Experiment Update
I have been away this latest weekend but I just had time to check on the progress of my hydroponics experiment. As well as the plants that sit in the rock wool cubes, I also have the same species of plant in soil which are in the greenhouse and also in the cold frames. This [...]
