One very important component that we added to our smallholding last year, was our polytunnel.
I was fortunate enough be given the steel hoops for nothing and we managed to get it errected and ready just in time for our first growing season. I'm not sure whether it was a case of beginners luck or not, but we did very well with just about everything and were able to grow a lot of food in it.
It was a great success and nows the time to finalise preparations for the coming campaign. My brother Dave phoned yesterday to say that they were coming down from North Staffordshire to see us.We haven't got a rotavator of our own but he has, so as quick as a flash, I persuaded him to bring his with him for the weekend.
This means that todays going be a case of all hands to the pump. To take full advantage, we need to have a full day in the polytunnel weeding and spreading manure ready for Dave to rotavate the growing beds tomorrow.
