Hi All

Website is updated with next weeks produce list order deadline midnight Monday.

Statement of account attached, please check the statement as it shows amount owing or credit up to date. It is so easy to
miss paying an invoice and end up owing without realising. Payments can be direct debit, weekly, monthly (pay mid month so
sometimes in credit sometimes in debt)
whichever works for you.

Peas and broad beans may be ready just in time for some of next weeks standard boxes. If they are please note the peas are
sugar snaps, you eat the pod and the pea. Spring onions are young sweet and tasty, all the green is good to eat.

Farm tour Saturday 7th May. There will be two tours during the day, one at 11am one at 2.30pm. Free to customers, £10
everyone else. The 11am tour will be aimed at customers and gardeners 2.30pm may get a bit more technical. Welcome to
bring a picnic and have lunch in the orchard. This years trainees are planning to have a nature in arts table, there will be wool
involved.
Places are limited so please let me know if you wish to attend.

Busy as usual on the farm, vegetables are loving this weather. I think we will have some of the earliest outdoor crops. This
weeks image our early brassica patch, usually has a crop cover over to protect from pigeons, I’ve just removed to put some
irrigation on. Great to see cabbage, kale and kohlrabi growing so well and hardly any slug damage.

Our green pathways are proving very useful, mowing and blowing the clippings into the bed is making such a big difference to
the temperature of the soil. I can’t believe the difference a little cover is making, where there is a bit of cover the soil is a good
few degrees cooler. This is great for all the beings living in the soil, heat and UV rays are death to any microbes living near the
surface of the soil. One of the reasons bare soil is so damaging. The management practices are starting to have a big impact,
along with the beautiful sunshine we have had. Insect numbers so much higher than last year, the rain had such an impact.
Butterflies, hoverflies and damsel flies are well up on last year. We have quite a few bees but nothing like there used to be.

We will be planting squash next week, we will have a patch from seeds chosen by you over winter called customers choice.
Looking forward to seeing how they grow. Thanks to those who were involved.
