We’re sprouting / chitting our maincrop potatoes before planting, just to give them a bit of a head start. This year we’re trying egg boxes and are really happy with how things are going so far. It’s really easy, just arrange your seed potatoes in the egg boxes and make sure the eyes face upwards. Then leave them in a cool light place, that’s frost free (10 degrees ish), and wait for the sprouts to appear.
You’ll want to do this about 4 to 6 weeks before planting. I’m so impatient, I can’t wait to get them in the ground. It’s so nice to be thinking about the garden again … I love spring. 😃 #garden #gardening #potatoes #potato #vegetables #veggies #homesteading #homestead #homesteadlife #scotland #growyourown #food #outdoors #lifestyle #happiness #countrylife #countryliving #rural #rurallife #spring It’s been a busy week in the garden, with new hens arriving (16 wks old) and their coop getting a complete revamp for spring. They’ve settled in well and seem to be really happy in their new home. We’re all looking forward to fresh eggs again. 😋
We’ve also been busy making some raised beds for our root veggies, a real blessing and makes life so much easier, especially with a sore back. It’s also the last of our up cycled metal and I love that we’ve used every piece … nothing wasted. 😃 It’s been a job and a half to fill them, but we’re lucky enough to own horses, so there’s never a shortage of well rotted manure. Two nearly complete, two to go … 👍 #garden #gardening #planting #growing #growyourown #food #veggies #fruit #chickens #spring #project #homestead #homesteading #homesteadlife #scotland #outdoors #lifestyle #countrylife #countryliving #vegetables |
