Pontius, Servace, Boniface... The saints with frost. Familiar, right? According to folklore, this is when the weather turns suddenly cold, often with frost, which can ruin buds, fresh shoots and flowers. That's why cautious gardeners tend to plant seedlings only after this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime, it's worth thinking about what you can do to keep your fruit and vegetables healthy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We stress the importance of soil conservation, such as tillage, minimizing rotation, the importance of mulching and increasing soil organic matter. Most of the vegetable crops such as radishes, lettuce, peas, cucumbers and courgettes are now well established and even sprouting. However, there are some crops that we prefer to plant, typically peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and some squashes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
