Life on the Viking Way.

Hello. I have been busy planting and sowing, like so many of you. Happily more and more people are growing for themselves. For me one thing that is missing. It is the fun I have with my grandchildren every year at this time. We plant the potatoes together and they generally join in with their “silly grandad”. I miss the toys strewn all over my freshly tilled soil. It must be doubly strange for them. I hope we are now starting to glimpse some light at the end of this tunnel. There is still much to do in my garden. The strawbale full of pea shoots have all gone thanks I think to the wood pigeons. I will be having serious words with Lola my so called “guard cat”. I shall put a selection of lettuces in their place. It was a shame, they looked so damned healthy! Thanks to the people who have supported my small but growing seed business. I welcome any suggestions. My sunflower kits are proving popular. We can send to any destination in the UK for you. I am having my seeds page re- vamped so that I can provide more useful information such as companion plants. I am almost finished planning some strawbale gardening webinars so please keep an eye out. If this might interest you please get in touch. In case you did not know I have two Facebook groups, one dedicated to strawbale gardening and a group for ALL things gardening related. These are called. Strawbaleveguk and Friendly And Informative Gardening Banter. You would be most welcome to join either or both. We are proud to be a business based in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside. By the way, for all things Lincolnshire related please take a look at www.lincsconnect.co.uk. Lastly I was so pleased to do an article for the May edition of Lincolnshire Life magazine. Please stay safe. Sow a seed and grow a world.
