Meg is full of energy, she's hard to tire out. Our winter has been mild again, a little snow but not much we used to have far more in Spain.Anne Wilsonhttp://anirishalternative.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-57293241225873267972015-02-11T13:01:26.984-08:002015-02-11T13:01:26.984-08:00Anne

Would have loved to have seen that picture. More snow here, winter will not let up its grip.carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510643117495822298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-39749251374932809222015-02-08T01:51:57.159-08:002015-02-08T01:51:57.159-08:00It would have been June-July time but I know there...It would have been June-July time but I know there are varieties for all crop times through from early Dec to March, so I've probably got hold of a later cropping type. No bother - we will just enjoy them in Feb/March. PSB is something I am going to grow more of this year in the spaces freed up by things we are not growing - like you, we are always changing our 'range'. It's all part of the fun and interest.Matt Carehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740449660447698097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-80028160517629159992015-02-07T11:26:02.047-08:002015-02-07T11:26:02.047-08:00When did you plant yours Matt?

The bed sides are old scaffold boards which we can get quite cheaply here. We still have one big compost bin about 4x4x4 so hopefully we have enough compost to last a while, the new bin has already been started.
