Tuesday evening: Back to Borth , popped to the gardens, cropped 300gms of salad. Shuffled the seedlings from propagator to cold-frame.
Wednesday: Dug outside beds Aa, Ab, Ac, Ba, Bb, Bc, Ca, Cb, Cc ... phew!!!
The 500kg of organic seedling and potting compost that I ordered through Sue arrived coutesy of Liz and her van. Due to Joel's back being knackered at the moment, I ended up carrying over a ton of the stuff from the van...!!!
Cropped 1200gms salad, bagged up 10 lots, made up and printed out new labels.
Thursday: Woke up feeling like i'd been run over!! Too much digging, lugging and riding bike into harsh wind.
Delivered 5 bags each to Family Shop and Nisa. Good chat with Gwenda (Mrs Nisa) about the restaurant opening end of May.
Dug out beds Da, Db, Dc, Ea, Eb, Ec - ready for making potato trenches. Had to give up cos i was knackered and blinding headache causing me to go dizzy!!
I checked out the trailer home in the gardens - it's a bit ropy but with a little care and attention it should be livable. We're hoping to spend half our time there, making it easier to look after our crops. I will go to Borth each day to deliver produce and work on my paintings at Janet's.
It's all go-go-go!!!
1.5 kgs of Japanese mix salad on the kitchen table. We need to streamline our process, such as watering, cropping and bagging in one process, ready for delivery.Working out unit costs is scary. At present we spend over £3 to earn £1.25. This is largely due to capital investment, learning process and economy of scale. It's early days... :o)
