The 2025 planting season in the Posh Market Garden has been a series of experiments, starting with direct sowing most of the vegetables, trying to train tomato plants to grow over an arched trellis and succession planting my lettuce.

Herbed Ricotta Bruschettas

I should first say the discovery of this recipe came about because I had some left-over Ricotta cheese from another recipe and I didn’t want it to go to waste!

Working Smarter not Harder in the Garden

So there you have it, the “Work Smarter not Harder” might be a flawed concept, but I am indeed responding to all that I learned last year as well as what I’m learning on the fly this year.
