The Little Green House :: March

RandomMarch 10, 2007 3:07 pm

This will be my last post at this blog for a while. We will still be living our little green lives at the Little Green House until at least August next year (2008), but I’m taking some time out from this blog to concentrate on other endeavours. I will continue to write regularly for the EcoStreet blog, as well as carrying on with the administration of the directory and forum on EcoStreet.

I am also writing a new blog with a spiritual twist: The Zen Housewife.

I’m going to leave The Little Green House just the way it is for now, and perhaps will come back from time to time to report on developments as we prepare to move around August 2008.

To everyone who has visited and commented, thanks for taking the time and I hope that our paths will cross again.

The growing season starts

Hard to believe it’s March. The winter was very short this year. I finally got down to the allotment on Thursday to take stock, and pruned the fruit trees in the garden today. We still have leeks and beetroot going at the allotment, but that’s about the sum of it. The sprouting broccoli has been decimated by slugs it seems. So slim pickings for the spring. The garlic in our garden is doing well, I look forward to harvesting that in a few month’s time.

Our plan for this year is to grow fewer types of vegetables in bigger numbers, and I’m taking more into the garden to protect from pests/diseases that are rife at the allotment site. I will be publishing the growing plan on the blog soon.
