Thanks to Conscious Creations for those magnificent oak handles!
Pure joy testing the wheel hoe, one of the most ergonomic tools I've ever used!
This investment will definitely cut the hours spent weeding on our hands and knees.
The oscillating hoe is in contact with the soil and slices the weeds just below the surface-causing minimal soil disturbance and eradication of weeds. Conscious Creations

OK, listen up! Here's a chance to have a *real* effect and help stop GM crops getting into the UK. DEFRA are asking what people want as part of their 'green brexit' plans. There is huge pressure on the government to allow GM crops when we leave the EU. Now is a chance to be listened to; unlike all those petitions, this is a proper consultation and they will take notice; you personally could have a real effect. Please, read the excellent page by GM Freeze https://www.gmfreeze.org/current-actions/keep-gm-out-of-the-future-of-farming/
and use the links they provide to tell DEFRA you don't want GM crops allowed in the UK. ... See more

That's it for this year; thanks so much to everyone who sent in their photos; you all grew amazing pumpkins and we enjoyed looking at them all. I hope you had fun; we'll do the same again next year, all you have to do is use our bought seed or your own home saved seed from the Pacific Giant pumpkin 🙂 (you did hand-pollinate them, didn't you?)

We have some winners of the Real Seeds Giant Pumpkin Photo Competition! If you remember we offered a £20 seed voucher to whoever sent in the most awesome photo; after much deliberation one prize will go to Helen Pottinger, for creative pumpkin lifting:
" it weighed in at 7 and a half stone - or 105 pounds. I didn't know how we were going to lift it but eventually came up with the idea of enrobing it in an old sweatshirt, turning it upside down - and then two of us were able to lift it into the wheelbarrow by the arms! We managed to break the wheelbarrow in the process . . ." ... See more
