look at all the pretty colours





It's not just the autumn leaves that give a dazzling show of colour. Couldn't resist sharing more photos of our wonderful mca. It really is a haven, good for body, soul and mind.

hello autumn, my old friend

whilst at my wee patch this morning I took time to sit back and enjoy all the wonderful autumn colours of the plots. Yes, there's quite a lot of bare earth but there are quite a few surprises too, if you look...


hibernating caterpillar, anyone know what type?

We often tend to forget that October can be a good month for plants to grow, especially prerennial weeds!! So after removing as many perennial weeds (dock, creeping buttercup and dandelion) as possible I had a wander and checked out the other plots. While some gardeners have taken the full clearance option,
some have got impressive crops still intact.

very, very impressive, massive leeks
