Tachwedd/November
As ever a variable year with a useful dry Spring drought followed by a very mild,helpful Autumn. This led to better than average crops. Fingers crossed for the Winter and storms to come. We used our 2023 borehole to great effect, enabling decent clover leys to get away and adequate crop irrigation. Worsening climate effects in the Mediterranean showed in citrus prices particularly.
Ionawr/January
After a mild Winter so far storms have been the most notable event with some damage here after we underestimated the beginning of Storm Darragh. Our polytunnels performed very well with only minor repairs needed as the storm worsened. Alongside many UK growers our post Xmas offerings are a bit thin ironically meeting growing demand. Combined with supply problems from both Spain and France shortages and some rationing to come seems likely.
