Mae'r Haf yn Dod/Summer on the Way

As some tricky winds end an otherwise perfect Spring a brief summary of what we've been up to. Firstly irrigating a lot as our borehole saved the days,repeatedly. Secondly struggling to keep up as rapidly advancing crops met large customer numbers, we can't be everywhere at once.
The traditional hungry gap was small this year,despite supply problems from Mediterranean countries. We worked hard dragging mesh sheets and fleeces on and off to push crops along and some lovely Fennel,Spring Onions,Tenderstem,Basil and various greens have been our reward.
West Wales, soon to host the National Eisteddfod at Llantood, has seemed a very peaceful place compared to events in the wider world.Israeli influence over the UK Gov has become increasingly apparent as has an active refusal to regulate US tec platforms.(quite easy to make them liable as publishers,if you actually want to). Apprehension as well as hope for the new Welsh Gov seems a common sentiment.
We will try to get a farm walk fitted in while we have light nights,and some shiny crops. We seen high bird and bat numbers reflective we hope of decent insect populations,as well as a drier Spring.

UK Gov quietly doing the killing. Growing sugar beet might be described as futile anyway (energy in v crop achieved). Organic arable farmers have been producing crops people actually need Eg Barley, beans, wheat,oats for a long time, without destroying our surroundings.
Compared to UK involvement in Gaza or failure to arrest anybody at all for inciting 2 major riots in 2 wks the fate of our butterflies and many,many insects that don't stand out, can seem small beer. Frustration with and scepticism about party politcs should however not blind us to heeding those politicians attempting progress. The latter are unlikely to be grandstanding at RAF Cyprus or inciting racists

Rebecca Speare-Cole, Press Association Sustainability Reporter Ministers have sparked fury among wildlife campaigners for allowing the extended use of a pesticide that can kill bees and butterflies. Sugar beet farmers are usually only allowed to spray a product containing “acetamiprid” on their ...

This weeks drop at

Today saw the last of the peonies and stocks go into the bunches for the year but the first of the ammi and nigella.

I love this time of year. New things are flowering all the time - although I will miss that hit of scent from the stocks as I walk into the polytunnel!

I fell out with stocks a few years ago when they failed / were eaten by wee beasties so I stopped growing them. But I'm so glad I gave them a go inside this year. They are definately back on the list!

What land grabs actually look like close up. Most "settlers" and a lot of IDF soldiers appear to be from Eastern Europe and other non-Middle Eastern origins. Selective use of the Old Testament, Robbie Gibb handclaps and a taste for brutality seem to be the fuel.

Amidst many UK fails being "not bothered" about food kit, tasty and timely programme from the Food Programme. Boring beans and peas having fed us all for nearly all of human history still not being taken seriously, Hodmedods aside. If we could shake off the Henry VIII food culture and rebuild a food cuisine...

Is the missing link in increasing the UK's food self sufficiency actually food processing?

Bwyta Allan/Eating Out
Foresighted piece here on eating out, properly? The British Restaurants format of WWII were indeed a success, such that middle class people flooded in. Nods to Organic North and Riverford who we trade with, both timely. We have a local version at the White Hart perhaps. https://wickedleeks.riverford.co.uk/features/the-public-plate-a-new-model-for-responsible-restaurants-that-bring-people-together/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQuGQhleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBMRjBIVURRYzkxNkZYWHBsc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHpRcK-e6p8ZE63Y55e7_mA6Rv5GlWO31bX9zFRqRXwjzjxLo-wPFo1m-ZXZX_aem_69dU5BwhM95s7u2sengD1Q
