We are truly thankful for the increase in orders from across the Garden Route. Unfortunately, these demands come with changes to our planting schedule, especially when it comes to carrots.
Spring comes with blue skies, the hum of bees, and rising Allergex stock prices. But it also has a nasty habit of creating the perfect the conditions for insects to hatch and swarm our organic food gardens.
Each year I buy artichokes from other farmers and have not ever planted my own. However, this year, I was gifted this mother plant in our cottage garden (thanks Audrey Wainwright) and let the artichoke unravel her magic.
