Hello. I am dismayed at the amount of sewage we are still pumping into out seas. The companies say that when we get exess rainfall they must divert some sewage into rivers and into the seas. How, with the amount of money we pay these companies are they allowed to get away with this. Surfers, and indeed anyone who goes upon the water knows just how filthy the water gets. I am sorry but there is no excuse. It is also up to us to change our habbits. Do not use wet wipes until they come up with a viable alternative. Authorities need to clamp down harder.
All hands on deck.
Changing tak. A few weeks ago we had an email from one of the UK’s largest companies. Enquiring about our Sunflower Growing Kits. But these were to be different. They wanted around 100 units. But, each box had to have enough kit in for a class of school children. Wow! This was by far our biggest order. The time was short, and as we pack everything by hand we needed to get our skates on. So, seeds and stock were ordered (all from UK companies) and we started to plan how we could achieve this. We would be using thousands of sunflower seeds and runner bean seeds. ( We encourage companion planting so all our kits contain runner bean seeds). We drafted in the help of family and friends and we did it. The lorry came and picked up the pallet and off they went to be distributed to schools all over the country. These kits are perfect as a school activity, or as a summer treat to get the children out and seeing who can grow the tallest sunflower. More inormation here.
Sunflowe Kits. Ready to go on the pallet.
Try Kohlrabi.
Kohlrabi is German for turnip-cabbage. Plant in moist soil 1.3cm deep, and one inch apart. Make a shallow hole and place one seed in each hole. Mulch around plants. Its a great vegetable for the kitchen. To prep, snip of leaf stems, trim base and top. Use potato peeler to peel like an apple. Thickly slice, chunk or cut. Great roasted, steamed, or in stir frys. Leaves can be cooked like cabbage. Try Kohlrabi slaw. More information on growing and to buy the seeds see here.
Good gardening. Simon.
