Thanks to Conscious Creations for those magnificent oak handles!
Pure joy testing the wheel hoe, one of the most ergonomic tools I've ever used!
This investment will definitely cut the hours spent weeding on our hands and knees.
The oscillating hoe is in contact with the soil and slices the weeds just below the surface-causing minimal soil disturbance and eradication of weeds. Conscious Creations

It was impossible to pick just one picture for today's #mondaymotivation so here are a selection from the wildflower meadow - it's looking glorious in the sunshine!

We've had a fabulous four days at BBC Gardeners' World Live. Thank you to everyone who came to see us, including our valued members. We hope you enjoyed the stand as much as we did - our display of Yeo Valley potted peas certainly proved popular!

It was also great to have our very own Head of Organic Horticulture Chris Collins with us giving his talk on the demo bench.

We'll see you all again next year! ... See more

Join us on 27th June for a fascinating introduction to the wonderful world of worm compost.
Wonderful wormeries will give you all the know how on what you need to get your very own wormery up and running... ... See more

Worm composting uses worms to create dark crumbly compost from your kitchen and garden waste. It is a great method of recycling organic waste from homes where kitchen waste is the main material to be composted, such as households with small gardens. Join us to discover how to introduce this resource... ... See more

You can use #comfrey tea to feed your tomatoes 🍅 It’s easy to make, costs nothing, and provides the perfect balance of #nutrients, #nitrates and #phosphates to help flowering and fruiting. This liquid feed is also excellent for hungry plants in hanging baskets. #fridaytip #comfrey #flowerfeed ... See more

Adam Frost shares his stories of working with the fabulous Geoff Hamilton at Barnsdale Gardens with the BBC Gardeners' World audience

Our worms are causing quite a stir at BBC Gardeners' World at the NEC today - if you're at the show make sure you come and say hello, we're near the Gardeners World Live Theatre

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
