spring

I've been putting seeds into pots with compost and watching them grow.

Blonde maraicheri lettuce just coming up.


The same lettuce a week or so later.



Red Orache. I've never tried it. I look forward to tasting it in a few months time.

An apple seedling. Mr Kite and I just planted 82 fruit trees down at Mountain Cottage in corfe mullen, Dorset. It's mostly apples, but cherries, plums, pears, quince and medlars too. They're all a lot bigger than this seedling.
So if you want to see our lovely fruit orchard why not book a yurt and stay down there for a night or two. It's an amazing place. http://www.mountaincottageyurts.co.uk/Welcome.html
