Sunflower Vegetables...The movie (1)

I thought I would try and bring you a truly mullti media experience from Sunflower Vegetables....so click here...Digging Down at the patch .... This is my first effort at putting a little film up here...but hey it was pretty straightforward so perhaps there may be more...and perhaps they might be of slightly more exciting things than a tractor digging in green manures! This does look like a Goldoni promotional video!!

Wazzawazzas of the mind

As Phil surveys his garlic the wazzawazzas of the future are being born......

(more wazza recipies to follow soon...and to those of you that do not know what a wazzawazza is you better invite yourself round to dinner!)

No Harlequins yet

There are literally thousands of ladybirds in the field. I've been checking and so far I haven't seen a single Harlequin. This is Harmonia axyridis which has been called 'the most invasive ladybird on Earth'. Its been recorded in the area (Woods Mill and Saddlescombe) so it is only a matter of time before it arrives....either which way....watch out you Aphids! You thought you could get away with drinking our Willow Sap...Well think again coz we are setting the beasties on you!

Spring has sprung!

Finally spring has sprung. It is warm and sunny and the pumpkin patch is abuzz with ladybirds and bumble-bees. Today Phil took down the green manures and dug them in ready for the first big plant which is in two weeks time. Meanwhile I was sent off to spread rock-dust which is not nearly as fun as driving tractors!!
