Welcome to my office. It's one of those typical brisk Scottish spring days - bright but the wind is blowing the tea out of the cup. So my flexible work pattern kicks in and I'm hotdesking on some new projects indoors. With the windward door firmly closed, it's approaching 30degC in here. The place might look like it has a low utilisation rate but it's keeping up a supply of highly billable spinach, salad leaves, coriander and radish. Work in progress includes early potato shoots, strawberries in flower, and embryonic apricots. The cape gooseberries have overwintered and even the forecast for the formerly forlorn hardy kiwis is looking up. But top of my key performance indicators this week is my cauliflower pakora. That's not a bookie's pencil by the way.

ReplyDeleteHappy Easter and make sure no pesky caterpillars dont get at your Cauli!
ps how much is a polytunnel might be a godd idea for me down here will heat off set lack of light ?
ReplyDeleteAny diffuse light will give a temperature differential but I am not sure a shady site will give you value for money. And as my hardy kiwis can tell you, it won't protect against May frosts - but it stops your frost fleece being blown away. Good for cucumbers and winter salads, but most crops need good light. Mine was £1600 but then it's bigger than your whole garden and designed to withstand a metre of snow and the odd hurricane. You could get a small one for a £100-200.
