The bees are out in force. A little hard to photo clearly, but this is a big red-tailed bumble bee making radish seed for us. It's 'Green Luobo' radish and will be ready in September

Hooray! Germination of the beautiful "Gaia" cold-adapted soybean we are trying out this year. 🙂

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

The Government’s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), wants to hear your views about the future of food, farming and the environment. They say they want a Green Brexit. Please let them know that GM has no place in that. ... See more

Real Seeds Giant Pumpkin Photo Competition - we are also giving an extra prize of £20 of seed to David Coop for heroic pumpkin carving! (44kg and an all-night carving session!)
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?) Free, open-source, printable seed saving instructions are at http://www.realseeds.co.uk/seedsavinginfo.html ... See more

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
