It's the perfect time to sow chard and leaf beet for harvesting from autumn through into winter & next spring. You can find Fordhook Giant, Pink Passion and Golden Chard - all recommended by Alys Fowler - on our leaf greens page here: http://realseeds.co.uk/cookinggreens.html ... See more

Wilt it in butter, put it in a flan, turn it into a gratin… Sow now, and you could be reaping the benefits all winter

Halfway there! Not a bad days work. Our new water tower will help next spring if there's a dry spell just as we put out all the baby plants...

Here's Ian checking the first piece of our new water tower, which we're hoping to put together today. Made from local wood cut by Adrian Krakiewicz on his mobile sawmill, it will be 4m high, with a 2000l tank on top. ... See more

Very unusual pods developing on our edible chickling vetch (Lathyrus sativus). It makes small lentil-like seeds that are eaten in many countries around the Mediterranean. We always have a few experimental things on the go, and this one certainly grows well here. We'll have to wait and see how easy it is to gather the seeds before they scatter though! ... See more

It's finally time to sow Oriental Greens! (If you sow them before midsummers day they just go to flower straight away) But now we can sow all these amazing greens that have been bred for growing really fast from now until winter. These come up quick and are ready to eat cooked or raw in just month or so. Find them all at http://www.realseeds.co.uk/orientalgreens.html ... See more

"Czech Early" aubergine living up to its name! Just about ready by the end of June - not at all bad for an unheated polytunnel in Wales.

Here's experimental tomato 'Blue Fire' under trial in one of the polytunnels. It is very pretty - but not yet ripe enough to taste-test.

Beautiful summer salad - from our seeds: spinach, golden chard, pink passion chard, magentaspreen, fennel leaves, orach, 'green days' oriental green, mange-tout peas, marigold petals, violets, radish flowers and pods & chive flowers- plus elderflowers and rose petals from the hedge. ... See more

Thought people might like to see the nodules on the roots of a broad bean plant. In all 'leguminous' plants - peas, beans etc - this is where the beneficial bacteria live that fix nitrogen from the air for the plant to use, so the plant can grow in poorer soil. The plant in return provides a safe home and sugar for the bacteria to live off. It also supplies oxygen to the bacteria - if you cut a nodule open, it is pink inside. The colour is from the plants 'leghaemoglobin' - just like the haemoglobin in your blood! ... See more

A fine crop of Early Prolific Straightneck is growing in the tunnel. It's been many years since we were able to offer seed of them, so this is quite exciting. Fingers crossed for a good seed harvest this autumn 🙂 ... See more
