Spring Planting At The Farm
We’ve been making the most of every window of good weather to get planting. This past month has been all about getting creative, practical, and a little bit resourceful in the garden and greenhouse.

My theme this year is sow and grow what you love, because if you love what you’re growing, naturally you put more care into it. Cooking something I love, I will put my heart and soul into it. For me, gardening is exactly the same.
As winter loosens its grip, the farm buzzes with preparation for spring. From composting and tending peonies to protecting chickens from predators, we’re busy laying the groundwork for a thriving season ahead.
With a little planning and preparation, a wildflower meadow soon becomes a beautiful haven for pollinators. Also, the more plants we grow to cover the soil, the more we protect it, and sink carbon into the soil.
Dahlias are one of the most rewarding flowers to grow. By taking a little time to lift and store your dahlias each autumn, you’ll be rewarded with stronger, healthier plants and even more spectacular blooms.
