It’s been a busy week in the garden. The visit by a local organic garden club sent me into a frenzy of tidying, planting and trying to finish those jobs that have been looking at me all year. Many were ticked off the list (phew!!), but I shouldn’t have worried, the weather was warm and sunny, and everybody seemed to enjoy themselves.

It’s lovely to have like minded gardeners visit – the weeds don’t matter and we enthused over the potential of dandelions!! We discussed crop rotations vs continuous cropping, polyculture, my experiments with recycled aggregates, water harvesting, floral diversity, growing perennial veg and much more – the hours simply slipped by. I hope some of the gardeners will return next month to wander our fields and enjoy the meadows and butterflies at their best.
