Not quite sure what this is ? I think ( it’s been a long time !) but I think it’s called the sun ?

Blowing a gale outside but very nice in here ! Lots of lush organic salad and herbs - all available direct or from Robinson’s .

Lettuces growing nicely , leeks having a quick w**d . I planted a bit late though so hard to know when they will be ready .

Then fill in ….. but tighten and straighten as you go …..

It’s over !
Now check it’s even in both sides and ends .

Polythene unrolled , pulled along length of tunnel . Just so you know - this roll 4 of us could barely lift for a few seconds !

Ropes tied on , thrown over - then we will pull over - last time it only took a few minutes to get over 🤞

Trench completed , old polythene removed - now the task is heat tape ( white ) it goes over each hoop. In addition I have found putting it along the longitudinal bars really helps - but it has to be fastened with repair tape ( clear ) .
It’s simple but repetitive ( many times )

One side done - now the other …

First job is to fill in the ditch I dug several years ago - I probably hit a spring or too - the first winter after the tunnel was up I had water flowing out of the tunnel ! But this ditch caught / stopped most of it .

Polytunnel repairs - it is quite possible to repair big rips - this is a repair to repairs made over a year ago . It’s part of growing in tunnels that they get damaged and although annoying the benefits of tunnels out weigh the annoying bits .

Micro salad - this is the radish element for Mondays delivery - Rambo (purple) and Daikon ( green) - tasty , healthy and organically certified , grown here in IOM !

Get from Robinsons if contact us direct . It’s not just a garnish but crisp and delicious - try some now …

29/08/2024

Fresh leeks , Manx and certified organic !

These will be in Robinsons in 3 hours time ! There’s low food time / miles - buy local and support island food producers .

25/08/2024

Just picking this tender , Manx , certified organic mint - breezy outside ! But the mint is perfect - get a Robinsons or contact ourselves direct .

This is probably a farmer type thing - but I love a nicely prepared bed ! You just feel it’s going to great to sow or plant into .

And from experience if a crop grows well then you can repick a good amount of it when it has re-grown .

It’s wet outside ! But the cats also like the sunny days too in the poly tunnels .

They are on cardboard that is covering new crops - if I did not cover the hot sun would ‘cook’ the seeds - and this is a cheap and simple solution .

31/07/2024

Delicious fresh micro salads being picked now - very soon to be delivered to Robinsons . All our baby leaf salads , herbs , vegetables and edible flowers available there or ask us about orders for parties and celebrations .

24/07/2024

If only I could produce time like thyme then life would not be so rushed …. Just picking for local restaurants and Robinsons .

20/07/2024

Micro salad - radish Daikon here . Just un-covered and watered . By the end if the day it will be almost green!

Buy out micro mix salad at Robinsons or speak to us about parties or celebrations. We do all sorts of salads , herbs and edible flowers .
