The dry snap continues as we enter July. We are just getting enough rain to water in our transplants and to continue active growth on those established crops. We could do with a little more but I had better not tempt fate. July starts the season of plenty with good quality crops now harvesting well. Our beans both Broad and French are now cropping well along with new season Beetroot Kohl Rabi and Fennel. Little Gem Lettuces Tomatoes Cucumbers and Spring Onions are the salad compliment to the bags and as the month develops so will our own cherry tomato crop delayed slightly by the cold start to the year. We are progressing well with planting up at Inglewhite with the main crop leeks going into the ground having been transplanted from the poly tunnel where they start their life. All other crops at Inglewhite are growing steadily with the late potatoes and onion crop bulking up nicely. It is a manic time in a growers calendar as all jobs have a sense of urgency to them now as growth accelerates with every shower. So far we have the weed flush managed well and if we can just get around all crops by the end of the month we can start to relax. .
