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

#simpleswitch No.4 - Love your weeds!

They often provide vital food for #pollinators such as #bees and #butterflies. You can manage #weeds by pulling them out by hand.

Destroy the roots, but add the valuable foliage to your #compost heap. Just don’t use toxic chemicals.

And if you want to keep your hard surfaces clear, make the weeds a cup of tea. Pour some boiling water on them, when making your own cuppa ☕

Our #WeedyWednesday plant this week is a little on the prickly side.

There are two types of #thistle that trouble both #gardeners and #farmers - the Creeping Thistle and the Sow Thistle.

These thistles have some handy benefits. The milky sap of Sow Thistle can be used to treat warts and Creeping Thistle is one of 22 plants used in gin!

Both have strong root systems, and set seed surprisingly quickly. But both have an important role in supporting wildlife. In thi... ... See more

#simpleswitch No.3 - Conserve water.
Organic growing means being careful with natural resources.

Reduce your own water footprint by conserving water where possible, using water butts and grey water. Use it carefully – watering the soil and not the plant.

#Monday is here again and the start of a brand new week!

We're already busy & hard at work #planting winter veg within our small #organic garden. We've chosen Pak Choi, Kale & Mizuna Oriental Salad with a section of winter vetch green manure to help prevent any weeds.

What plans do you have for your winter veg? #MondayMotivation #growyourown #winterveg #todolist ... See more

#simpleswitch No.2 - Avoid using toxic #slug #pellets.

Most slug pellets contain the poison #metaldehyde – which can kill pets and other #animals if ingested. If you have to use pellets, make sure they are certified for #organic use.

Huge fruit on Alistair MacGillivray's 'Pacific Giant' squash plant, about 70cm and still getting bigger - see the foot at the bottom right for scale!

It's that exciting time of year when seed starts ripening thick and fast 🙂 Below are the first few umbels of Manchester Table carrot seed ready to harvest in the tunnel.

We've just harvested the tree onions - they're drying nicely in the barn, and we've got a few of the earliest ones packed up now.
http://realseeds.co.uk/onionsspecial.html#onts

We found lots of little baby lizards while we were clearing up in front of the tunnel - they move very fast, but one stayed still long enough for a photo.

Some of the flowers we've got growing amongst the vegetables on our fields at the moment - great for the bees, and some of them are edible too.

Everything is growing so fast right now. The edible lupin 'dieta' has set loads of pods. The seeds of this special variety are hopefully non-bitter and are cooked or pickled as 'altramuz'; a high yielding, fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing food crop. ... See more

Here's a fantastic photo of our Painted Mountain corn, just sent in by James Wilde of Invergowrie in Scotland. (And yes, he did grow it in a greenhouse to get it this early - but the outdoors one are just starting to make cobs now as well.) ... See more

Now how about this for a tomato colour scheme!

Pulleys are great 🙂

The water tower is finished - now all we have to do is figure out how to get the enormous tank on top of it!
