It’s been dry – and now very hot – and both have had an impact in the garden – some plants have speeded up and gone quickly to seed, some have slowed down…
There was lots to explore and to harvest: we cleared the broad beans and the garlic; we chatted; we looked at insect predators and prey; we tended the potatoes and sweet corn; we made plans for the Tooting wheat with Juan and Anta from Naked Loaf in Furzedown (come to the Tooting Foodival 28 & 29 September and see we what we do together!).
I’ll let the photos tell the story of the day:
