Global warming may have enabled Eden Farms to have both purple sprouting broccoli and ordinary "calabrese" broccoli on our organic veg stall in Nottingham last week, but the mud! In normal winters there is usually some cold, biting weather by now that "freeze-dries" our fields, so we can do some winter ploughing- or- hey what fun! some hoeing!
Nothing like that this year so far; Lincolnshire has degenerated into a sea of mud, and Eden Farms appears to be sinking in the middle! Although you might think that all this warm weather will increase our range of crops , in fact, we usually start planting lettuce outside in just over a month, but we need some drying weather to help out.
Visit our Farmer's Market stalls in Nottingham, vheck our website www.edenfarms.co.uk for all the details, you'll be surprised at the range of seasonal veg.
