For this week’s #fridaytip we're sharing our know how on green manures! Now is the perfect time to sow green manures, especially if you have bare soil after harvesting.

These are plants which will improve your soil, such as vetch and clover. Their roots fix nitrogen from the air. Be sure to dig them in after flowering and before seed sets.

If you've got some spare time this #weekend why not take the opportunity to sow your green manures!

If you find our information useful you could help us to continue providing this advice by donating just £2 to Garden Organic today. Please text TIPS17 £2 to 70070 to donate. Thank you 😃 #fridaytip #organicgardening #greenmanures ... See more

Our volunteers have #harvested a bumper collection of colourful #vegetables today, all from our very own Allotment Garden.

BBC Countryfile Live opens tomorrow! Come along and find out more about who we are and what we can offer, as well as trying your hand at our seed sowing activity.

You'll find us located within the Wildlife Zone! #countryfilelive ... See more

This week's #weedywednesday comes courtesy of the Fat Hen!

Originally grown as a #vegetable, and now considered a #weed, the Fat Hen offers many benefits.

Fat Hen was eaten as a vegetable from Neolithic times until the 16th century when it was replaced by #spinach and #cabbage.

Rich in #vitamin C, it is still grown and eaten in North #India.
The seeds can be ground into flour, and it was grown as food for pigs, sheep - and hens! The leaves are a source of #ascaridole, an oil used to treat infestations of round worms and hook worms.

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.

Bulking up our super tasty new bean Princess - in the field earlier in the year, drying in the tunnel - and the catflap we installed so that Thompson can get in and protect all our drying seeds even when the tunnel is shut up! ... See more

Squash harvest at Real Seeds! Here's Ian bringing in the hugely diverse Treugerat squash population. This is the start of a dehybridisation project; all these different squash came from seed in one pumpkin Ben found at a festival in France. We'll select the best and breed them true over the next 8 years. ... See more

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.
