The poly tunnel rises

Today we finally got chance to put the our much awaited poly tunnel up. Beth has been excited about this since its arrival in deepest winter and she now 400 sq.ft of space for planting all the plugs that our customers will hopefully be helping us plant on our open day on the 24th of May.

We didnt manage to get the cover tonight as my two helpers had to get off at 7pm. Apparantly there are some people kicking a football around and they could not miss it. I must try to check the sporting calender prior to booking them next. Thank god we aren't in the middle of some life changing experience like the world cup. (that is football isnt it?)

With any luck the weather will stay good and we'll manage to get the area we ploughed today dried and ready for rotavating at the weekend. Then Beth will be straight in with the beetroot seed. I'm still trying to persuade her that just because the boys really love the fact it turns there pee a fantastic red colour it may be a bad idea to plant an acre of the stuff. Look out for special deals on beetroot bulk buys later in the year!
