Fast-growing Sharpham!

 

Says Flik, in her caption to this video on her Instagram:

"And so the end begins… the final crops of our traineeship are going in the ground! 

Today we began the polytunnel ‘flip’ for autumn/winter. Now September’s here and our cucs had neared their end, @amymay22 , @endiva_thegrowerchefess and I whipped them out and prepped the bed with a good hoe and a rake.

Then I planted up this extra long bed with all our winter brassica salad leaves, including mizuna, purple frills, golden frills, rocket and red komatsuna… some of what was in here when we started in January. 

Gave these little salad sprogs a good old watering in, then tucked ‘em up for the night, helping them start to grow big and strong to keep the salad flowing all year round 👌 

A cosy shelter from the wet Devon weather today. Feeling autumnal 🍂"
