Newsletter w/c 20th June 2011

The holiday season is almost upon us. Should you need to cancel 1 or 2 deliveries let us know on the delivery prior to the one you want to miss, or send us an e-mail. We are going away in two weeks time, on the 2nd July, so there will not be any delivery on the week commencing 4th July. This means that every customer will be a week later getting their deliveries, whether the next delivery is due on the week of the 4th or the week of the 11th. We’re staying in Scotland this year, heading over to one of our favourite haunts, Crail. We all love the seaside and with the old harbour and long walks to enjoy, we’re all really looking forward to it, The boys have the added excitement of living in a house in a town , with shops and other amenities, its like a theme park to them.

The wet weather is bad news in some ways and good in others. Wet weather means its hard to work the soil and when we hoe around the vegetables, the broken weeds re-root again like cuttings. Their growing progress is checked though, and we buy ourselves a bit more time, because the upside is, that everything, weeds and vegetables, are growing well in the conditions, even though it’s slightly cool. We’ll have our own baby spinach and radish in the bag next week so, with a sigh of relief, I won’t need to order in quite so much veg from the organic wholesaler. The first salads won’t be far away either. We’ve picked a bit for ourselves and it feels’ like summer shouldn’t be too far away.

We didn’t make it to Gorgie on Saturday, there was just too much work to be done and family stuff going on. I apologise, as I didn’t update the blog to let you know. This Saturday we’ll be at Juniper Green from 9am til 1pm.
