It's such a beautiful time of year, how is your #autumn garden looking?

If you bring any pots into the #greenhouse or conservatory check that they aren’t diseased, making sure there is no leaf curl, mottled leaves or mites lurking.

Once you have moved your pots take off the top centimetre of #soil and replace with #horticultural gravel. You can replace this with fresh #compost next spring.🌿

It's that exciting time of year when seed starts ripening thick and fast 🙂 Below are the first few umbels of Manchester Table carrot seed ready to harvest in the tunnel.

We've just harvested the tree onions - they're drying nicely in the barn, and we've got a few of the earliest ones packed up now.

We found lots of little baby lizards while we were clearing up in front of the tunnel - they move very fast, but one stayed still long enough for a photo.

Some of the flowers we've got growing amongst the vegetables on our fields at the moment - great for the bees, and some of them are edible too.

Everything is growing so fast right now. The edible lupin 'dieta' has set loads of pods. The seeds of this special variety are hopefully non-bitter and are cooked or pickled as 'altramuz'; a high yielding, fast-growing, nitrogen-fixing food crop. ... See more

Here's a fantastic photo of our Painted Mountain corn, just sent in by James Wilde of Invergowrie in Scotland. (And yes, he did grow it in a greenhouse to get it this early - but the outdoors one are just starting to make cobs now as well.) ... See more
