Hello May!
Hello May!
Can you believe it is May already – where has the year gone?!
The May garden is bursting with energy. Everything is growing at pace and suddenly there aren’t quite enough hours in the day! (not that there ever was!)
This month’s box is a collection of classic heirloom varieties, many of which date back to the 1800s, all chosen for being easy to grow and rewarding.
We also continue our three sisters planting this month which is an exciting and space saving way to grow – not to mention it keeps the weeds down which we love!
The last few weeks have given us a little taste of summer to remind us all how much we love being outside and these sunny days make even the mundane of gardening tasks so much more fun!
So, let’s grab our May boxes and head outside into the garden!
Happy sowing!
