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

Happy Mother’s Day to our members and supporters.
We hope you enjoy a very special day.

It's been a busy time for the Heritage Seed Library so far this year.

Our seedlings have now all been potted on and doing really well. We hope you're seeing success with your growing too...

Have you mown the lawn for the first time?

If you’ve made a start make sure you set the blades high and leave your first trimmings on the grass. As they die back they will feed the lawn with much needed nitrates through the growing season!

Not all slugs are villains!

This is the leopard slug (Limax maximus). You may have found a few in your compost bin when you have opened the lid. They play an important role in helping to break down your compost, and they also eat other slugs.

In 2018 our Members’ Experiments participants caught hardly any leopard slugs in beer traps amongst their plants, even though plenty of other types were caught.

This does further suggest that the leopard slug is not interested in your plants, so if you do find them in your compost bin, let them live as they are doing a useful job. #slugs #homecomposting #composting ... 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

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

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.
