Plant Tending In A Pandemic; Untying The Gordian Knot

8th September 2021 Colin Cross 0

My reference to “untying the Gordian Knot” is somewhat ethereal. I’ve been giving some though to the complex threads that underpin the whole Covid “debate” whilst, at the same time, taking some note of which [more…]

Growing In A Pandemic; Highs & Lows, Reflections

24th August 2021 Colin Cross 0

Rough Growing In A Pandemic (The Scottish Question)

1st June 2021 Colin Cross 0

The weather has been atrocious. In many ways it’s been a problem in the greenhouse, tomato plants are stressed, evidenced by the yellowing lower leaves and my red onions have bolted, caused, I’m sure, by [more…]
