Horse Manure
Got a few (very heavy) bags of horse manure today; mixed in with what looks like it was wood shavings and straw. It's partially rotted down, but will mix it into the compost heap rather than applying it direct. Not sure of the name of the farm - it's on Pampisford road in Abington, opposite from the hildersham crossroads.
Also sowed the first seeds of the year - self-collected chive seeds, some palm seeds collected by someone on holiday in Nice (will try to identify species later) and a few heirloom type sweet peas (ie the old-fashioned small-flowered very fragrant ones).
Also pulled up the remaining beetroot; they're a bit woody in some cases, but still edible.
