Asparagus and Purple Sprouting!

Yes! A really warm, dry Spring has moved our asparagus forward by an amazing 2 weeks! This has to be the earliest for us ever.
And the beleaguered purple and white sprouting broccolli has really flourished- although some timely gentle April showers wouldn't do any harm. However, as always with the British weather, be careful what you wish for!
Farm work has been crazy busy- instead of moaning because we can't get on due to the rain, we haven't had a minute off, with planting and cutting! Our lettuce have been so excellent that we've managed to send pallet-loads down to London- never known in April, and if I do sound a bit smug, well ahead of the game this year!
Anyhow, these and much more can be found on our markets and website . Visit us soon!
