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

A fairly large Pacific Giant squash - 27kg!

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

A few photos from a busy harvest week at Real Seeds: Ian cutting the hedges back, Ben sorting the Special Swiss sweetcorn, a visit by the local Permaculture group and harvesting enormous sunflowers. (oh and not to forget Kate practicing Hamlet with a Polarnaya Siberian Cabbage...) ... 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.
