July 7th 2025  With a very wet autumn, tuber lifting was painfiully slow having to be done after the ground had partly dried between the rain. A number of tubers suffered with the wet conditions, but are now drying up for cleaning and in preparation for orders. Winter crops were sown, much to the delight of neighbouring rabbits who love to chew the top off the sprouts. We just wish the feral cats would catch them, but they too have bought their own issues with transmitting Toxoplasmosis to our pregnant ewes (through their manure and it evidently lasts for two years in the ground). Unfortunately we have had a few ewes abort, but have yet to catch the cats. For over 30 years, never been an issue for us before, but will have to look at vaccinating the ewes for it next season.

Spring is around the corner.....

With the large number of new Dahlia sellers curently in the market, it is recommended to plant any you buy, in seperate beds for at least one season to ensure they are virus free.

Tuber Sales for 2025 season have now closed

We have now finished our tuber sales apart from the collectionn of 10x tubers.

Planting is nearing completion in the north, with some already pushing their shoots through the soil. Soil conditions are typical for this time of the year, going from soggy to friable with the strong drying winds between the rainy days.
