  • Been a whole year already !!

    A year ago today I started working on my market garden business - been bloody hard work, but I can honestly say I have no regrets, even if the weather was a bitch last year, and three crops failed to produce anything worth selling. Starting from a bare field, it was hard to know what would grow well, what would sell, demand for veg boxes etc, but if I have learned one thing above all else, it's that I need to grow more veg !!!! And that can only be a good thing. I'm up to 50 boxes a week now and if I get another twenty or so, I'll employ someone for two days a week to make up and deliver them for me.

    Nice one Rat. Where there's muck there's brass!
    To see a world in a grain of sand
    And a heaven in a wild flower

      Well done Rat, we may come up and take a peek in the autumn and relive you of one of those boxes.

                Well done that man! Hard work in all seasons though, I should think. I joined in March last year and I remember in the early summer you leaving messages at ridiculous times of the night that you'd just finished work. You deserve all the success.

                      Well done Rat - going from strength to strength. Great to hear of someone making a success doing their own thing .... more power to you this coming year.

                          You deserve every success for all the hard work you've put into the business - I hope word gets around and you get more than the 20 extra boxes.
