Keith & Freya are on the plot cutting back the grass for the first time in months as a few weeks of heavier rain in England has spurred growth. It's time to plant out the spring greens for 2026, remembering to net the plants to keep the butterflies and birds off a crop which will feed us from next March. Freya is also planting some spicy salad leaves and Mizuna and the potato harvest for 2025 continues with our reds.

It's time to dig down and shout,"Potatoes! " as we uncover our main crop for 2025! It's been a hot and dry summer in England and that's not always conducive to getting a good crop of spuds... But we never give up! Will we get mighty Maris Piper or Diminutive Desree? Listen along as Freya & Keith fork around on the plot this week!

Keith & Freya are making sure the Brussel Sprout plants are securely anchored in the ground to ensure a brill crop for Christmas 2025. It really makes a difference if they are! The battle with Cabbage White caterpillars continues and now a new enemy is with us, Brassica whitefly! These dusty little varmints will ruin the hearts of your greens this Autumn/Fall. Also, time to divide your rhubarb plants to get a bigger crop of stalks with your custard next year!

Keith & Freya are on the plot and picking this week as we start the harvest for 2025. The great English summer we have had has been dry but productive, suiting some crops more than others. But today we discuss what has fed us and what has struggled a little in these warm and sunny conditions over the growing season. We've got edible grapes, all grown outside and ripening now as the farmers bring in the combine harvesters in the Cotswolds.
