Here's a #fridaytip if you're still spotting the odd slug or snail in your garden!

In this chill weather most #slugs and #snails will be dormant. But it is worth checking in and behind empty pots and other sheltered places to find snails.

It’s up to you what you do with them - you could rehouse them away from your growing area, or even put them out for the hungry thrushes at this time of year. #fridaytip #gardeningtips ... See more

Slugs and snails There are approximately 30 species of slug in the UK, and over 100 species of snail. And sometimes it feels like they are all munching through your precious plants! Slugs have evolved from snails, and both are molluscs and gastropods (literally, an eating foot). They have nearly 30?... ... See more

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.
