Field Trip

24 08 2007

Just returned from 10 days visiting my parents in South West France. Went for a break but also managed to get lots of good info on growing things by looking at their veg plot. The climate they get there allows them to grow stuff we’d have no chance with, such as watermelons ect (although they’ve had a bad year this year, too much wet) I have plenty of tips for home made cloches, straw mulch, using old branches as cains and have also been able to collect a variety of seeds to try in the spring. I also have managed to scrounge some netting to protect our fruit bushes which they will bring over for me when they are next home.

will add pics soon
