Mary and Leila planting lettuce in early August

Leila fully planted in the work!

So it is off to the Farmer's Market in Inverness Town Centre

We arrived to harvest at 5 in the morning; at the stall by 8, selling by 9. Sold out by 12:30. And someone told us we had brought too much stock! The happy crew did all the selling! Market stall holders in London eat your heart out! Well done girls!


And this is all we had left over.....wow!!!

Salad veges

We got water from over the fence in Bruce Gardens. Thanks Mrs McKenzie!


In June we started planting salad vegetables; lettuces, rocket, dill, coriander and parsley

First in were the tatties

Immediately we got a keen crew of gardeners, led by Sarah and Rory, planting eight bags of seed potatoes
