Planning at Perch Hill
It's been a busy month for us here at Perch Hill. At this time of year we're planning for the winter and spring months ahead. We've been filling the vegetable garden with winter salads and lettuces to pick through the colder months. There’s no need to stop eating salad for lunch in the winter with a big bowl of soup. We're also still sowing the last of our hardy annuals for flowers next year, they come up earlier and are much hardier when they have a chance to get established before spring, so I try not to miss this autumn window. I'm also excited about our new spring bulb and scented shrub area which is being attached to the cutting garden. It will make a fabulous new addition where we can sit in spring and early summer and we'll be able to use the shrubs for our flowering arranging courses.
