April

I can really feel the energy of Spring! It's in the soil as it warms up and dries out, its in the air with the humming of the bees and the birdsong….it's in all the new Chard and Spinach leaves keeping us in fresh food. It's one of the busiest months of the year with full seed trays bursting out of the greenhouse and can be overwhelming. Let me take you through it and show you how I keep my balance!
