Hi All

Please excuse blanket email

We now have a facebook presence too if you do that sort of thing. Or perhaps you will have to ask a youngster (as I would)

Bruce, brenda and all !

Crooked End Lambwatch has begun!!

Lambing started on Monday night with a set of twins being born, closely followed by a set of quads. As I write we currently have 4 pens containing sheep with lambs. I can see the rest of the flock out of the window here, we are watching them very closely.

Manu and Shirkara are doing a fantastic job of looking after the new arrivals and are waking and checking the lambs at all times of the day and night. Laura (not the Laura from last week, but another wwoofer called Laura) is also managing to get hands on experience of lambing which is what wwoofing is all about!

Supper Club coming up – don’t forget!!

And so, the veg boxes this week will contain an array of the following

Calabrese
Celariac
Closed Mushroom
Green Pepper
Round tomatoes
Leeks

Along with the potatoes, onions and carrots as standard.

Best wishes for the coming week from a very tired but happy Crooked End team!

We are all enjoying the wonderful spring weather and lengthening days – and so is our salad crop; it is reawakening from their winter dormancy and tempting us with a taster of beautiful, tender leaves. I am cautiously optimistic of a good crop this year. If we don’t it is not through lack effort on the part of the wonderful Manu!

We said goodbye to one wwoofer and hello to another this week. Our regular visitor Nicolai has returned to Italy to resume his studies having spent a few weeks with us working on the farm and being Kate’s favourite sous chef. We do hope to see him again soon. But, we welcome back another old wwoofer, Laura, who helped us enormously over Christmas.

Our second green gym session last Saturday went well. I have attached a photo of one of the day’s tasks which was planting new hedging plants along a new fence line behind the pig pens. Why not come along to our next Green Gym day on Saturday 31st March and see what farm activities you can take part in?

And don’t forget to book your place for our next supper club on Saturday 17th March at 7:30pm . We have already taken quite a few bookings so do get in touch if you would like to come.

Our scrumptious veg boxes this week will contain a variety of the following

Cauliflower – it’s back!!!
Flat Mushroom
Pepper
Beetroot
Leek
Red kale

Best wishes

Annette and all at Crooked End

PS – no lambs yet!
