Planting & Sowing

The season has taken off everyone! We're busy sowing and planting any days that are dry enough to enter our fields. Top pics are the team planting onion seedlings. This year we tried a slightly different approach - we skipped spring cultivation of our beds, instead we rolled the cover crop (faba beans and blue lupin) on 10th of September and topped it up with grass silage. Because of heavy rain we had to hold off with planting till last week but the onions are all in now! Yay! 🧅🧅🧅
We also planted silverbeet and sowed 5,112 pumpkin seeds of a few varieties. This year we'll grow Crown Prince Pumpkin (with a dense sweet nutty flesh), Waltham Butternut (a delicious squash with solid orange flesh, smooth texture and a wonderful sweet flavour), Squash Jade (Buttercup squash with a sweet nutty tasting dry orange flesh), Henri's Potimarron (the shape is a reverse plump tear drop and it has an almost red skin with deep orange flesh and excellent flavour), and Squash Yumeroman (dark green skin colour, and vibrant orange internal flesh colour).🎃🎃🎃
