Ripple Farm Update: Rain Required!
20 August 2013
Hi All,
We missed all the rain here again so we are now having to irrigate. Even the courgettes were starting to suffer so they have been given a good watering and are responding well. Our irrigation capabilities are limited so we'd love a drop of rain soon.
New crops this week are red baker potatoes and our white potatoes will now be a 'hunter' variety which have a nice cream skin and taste lovely. There is some minor cracking in the skin due to the stop/start growing season they have had between wet and dry spells but this doesn't take anything away from their eating quality.
Kind Regards
