We’ve made it into March and we’re sowing caution to the wind and sowing seeds with gusto. Today’s guest is Joanna MacGregor, one half of Farm Ness, who also features on the fifth series of The BBC Show This Farming Life. We talk about her move from the classroom to the farm yard, her farm shop endeavours &amp; much much more. 🌱Instagram @farm_Ness https://🌱www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b094mqlx Plus I chat about what I’m sowing on the window sill now we’ve had five minutes of sunshine in Scotland from tomatoes, aubergines and more sweet peas and I’m cooking with purple sprouting broccoli. 🌱 My book of the week for those looking to make their own compost is Perfect Compost, and it does what it says what it does on the tin. 🌱 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Perfect-Compost-Practical-Simon-Akeroyd/dp/1911358944 And finally I also reveal more information about 12 of unexpected gardens which will be growing across the country as part of Unboxed 2022. 🌱 https://lnk.bio/dandelionscot
