Hello.
I do hope that you are well and have managed to acheive all that you had planned for your garden this year. I am still re-organising and planning. I am due to take delivery of a new cover for the large polytunnell in February. Plus a new shed that will double as an office.
Their has been an increased interest in growing chilliesas can be seen by numerous chilli growing groups on social media. There is good reason for this. We use chillies in our everyday cooking more than ever before. Growing from home gives acess to wonderful flavourfull varieties. Some fiery hot and some mild and fruity. We at strawbaleveguk are due to trial some new varieties for the shop. So we will be reporting on these. One of the quickest to mature in the UK is the Quickfire. With as little as sixty five days from sowing, to first fruit maturity. Producing neat compact fruit. Typically SHU is 40,000 Why not give these a go?
We have now set up a shop on the Etsy platform. Mainly to showcase the handmade gardening gifts we intend to produce next year. The first of these that makes a great gift for Christmas or indeed any celebration is our bespoke seed box. We engrave your chosen message on the lid. Inside the box are ten packets of organic vegetable and herb seeds. Included also are seed markers and a marker pencil. And of course full sow and gro instructions.
As I say, we will be bringing new handmade gifts online. Please take a look here.
We will be introducing many new varoeties of vegetables to our shop in the coming months, so please keep an eye on our shop.
From everyone here on the Viking Way we wish you a happy Christmas. And a great new year.
Simon.
