Our #WeedyWednesday is proving very popular so if you missed this week's plant, don't worry, here it is again!

The ground elder is invasive and hated - but surprisingly tasty!
This attractive plant with bright, upright green foliage and white flowers is a pest for #gardeners.

Like bindweed, ground elder is a persistent weed, it will rapidly reproduce and create a carpet of plants from rhizomes, which can grow up to 90 cm per year! To eradicate it, the soil should be repeatedly dug over and the rhizomes removed and burnt.
Alternatively you could always eat it! The tender, new leaves can be eaten as a spring leaf vegetable, much like spinach.

Thank you to everyone who commented, giving their own experiences of this persistent weed!

For this week’s #fridaytip we’re discussing #soil health & #mulches. Keep the soil around fruit trees and bushes in good condition, especially in hot dry spells this month.

Mulch well, but always onto wet soil. Leave a gap around the stem or trunk to allow air flow. Grass mowings, #leafmould, rough #compost and similar materials are all suitable mulches.

If you have small trained fruit trees - apples and pears which are espaliered or cordoned – now is a good time to prune them back into shape.

Our Head of Organic Horticulture Chris Collins is here to give you an introduction to mulching...

We updated you last week on our member's experiments and now we'd like to know if you have harvested any of your plants?

We're just about ready to harvest our #tomatillos and plan on making a tasty roasted tomatillo salsa! Here's what you'll need...

Ingredients:
1lb of tomatillos, cleaned, with papery cases removed
2 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
1 small onion roughly chopped
Juice of half a lemon
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 green chilli (optional), sliced
2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves

Method:
Preheat oven to 200c. Place tomatillos, garlic, onion, chilli on a baking tray, and pour over 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Roast for around 7 minutes, or until the skins of the tomatillos are just starting to char. Blend all the remaining ingredients, except the olive oil using a blender so that it still retains a rough texture. The olive oil should be drizzled in last, with the blender still running.

The salsa will have tangy taste and makes a great addition to mexican food. It will keep up to a week in the fridge.

If you've got any recipes that you enjoy making with your tomatillos then please share them with us below...

Just preparing the new harvest seed of the Golden Chard. What a pretty plant!

The "Amanda" sweet peppers are incredible. Look, another huge harvest of fruit this morning! Seed from the first batch of these will be available online really soon. 🙂

Here's Tam spending an afternoon this week deseeding the "Amanda" sweet peppers. We love the pepper harvest - we all get a huge bucket of peppers to cook with once the seeds are taken out!

Amaranth! The Leaf Amaranth plants are flowering well now in the tunnel and it looks spectacular; they're about 12ft tall. New seed from them should be ready in late November.

Squash harvest at Real Seeds! Here's Ian bringing in the hugely diverse Treugerat squash population.

We've been getting the squash harvest in now, and this is interesting - the one at the bottom is a Sibley that was harvested *last year* - yes, 12 months ago! Stored on the dresser in a cool room, it's still in perfectly eatable condition. Now that's what you can call a good-storage variety! ... See more

This is why chemical farming is so wrong . Great timelapse photography of what happens if you remove all the organisms from the soil.
