L.O.V.E. Will close its gates forever. We’re relocating to the West Midlands in the summer, leaving the beautiful farm behind. We’ve had so much fun and joy growing all the vegetables and seedlings. We’re sad to see it all go, but also very exciting for our future in a new area 😊🥰 Here are some photos of the beginings in 2020. (I will close this page in a week)

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, so here’s a little update. I’ve come to really enjoy the garden lately, but haven’t actually done much work on it. I’ve planted lots of veggies earlier in the year so we have a great harvest. But I’ve learnt not to stress about the weeds and all the endless tasks that need doing. I’ve stopped the markets in May as I found it very overwhelming but my daughter wants to restart it next year so I will do that so she can get involved. It’s so liberating just watching this space, and looking at it with gratitude. I’m giving lots of vegetables and fruit to friends and it makes me very happy.

Isla asked: Mummy can we have a tomato jungle in the greenhouse again? The answer was yes of course. My little greenhouse got damaged last year in a storm and I never got round to repair it. Today I managed to fit some of the glass back in, clear it out and refill with fresh compost. Before and after, then the last picture is 2020. This year I’ve planted peppers and aubergines too. I’ll need more glass but it’s warm enough at the moment anyway.

When I first started growing in my garden, my aim was to grow organic vegetables for the public and sell them at affordable prices. Since then I’ve switched my business model to sell mostly seedlings, and encourage people to have a go at growing. This, in my opinion have a much larger impact as the initial stress of purchasing seeds, germinating and looking after delicate seedlings is eradicated. The chance of success is much higher if you are starting your season with strong established seedlings. And I’m here to help you with any questions you have about them 😊 There is now a WhatsApp group called L.O.V.E which will be used for placing orders for delivery/collection and to receive udates about the garden as well as upcoming market days. If you would like to be included please send me your mobile number in a private message and I will add you to the group.
