ploughing on

The main plot is looking very tidy as it has been ploughed over. Of course the plants which have been ploughed in including comfrey will act as"green manure". Leaves from the trees are useful too, many people put them in their broad bean trenches at this time. but there are plenty of leaves still on, due to the mild weather.

Free for all

The hedges at the Green Patch are full of birds helping themselves to the berries and the insects. They like the spindle tree berries ( poisonous to humans). The bees continue to visit the nasturtiums. A few days ago we had an evening party when lots of children dressed up and carved pumpkins.
