Area management.

This area had onions in, they didn't do very well mainly due to lack of watering, but mainly I think because it didn't recieve any compost in the last year, so instead of resowing another a veg crop I've decided to firstly allow some regen plants, Inc, mullein, poppy, red Russian kale, poppy and parsly and then sow some buckwheat green manure to capture some carbon and protect the soil while it's still so dry.
Sowing this quite recently means it may get to flowering stage, which would then feed pollinators late in the season, if some does seed next year that's not so bad!
When the areas soil has rehydrated I will add some compost onto the area, and if time i may even add another green manure.

The sole purpose of posting produce pictures on here isn't always to advertise, one main reason is to remind my self, on winters days or days when I feel I could do better; what has been done. And to chase myself to try and improve next year. (I think this is a common gardeners/farmers feeling isn't it?)

My main heaviest work is during wet days of winter, so good to look back on those fruits of summer and the work over the years (winter and summers) that have helped improve the ground, diversity and skills in order to make this basket of food!

From little seeds do great things grow!!

After one bed had its last few spring onions taken out today its time for the winter crops to go in.

These are tiny rainbow Chard. Each hole is directly watered and then little plug plants are dropped in and firmed down.
I will water them directly until I can see they've got their roots down and then just continue to pray for a gentle load of rain.

It always amazes me growing from seed; wether its this Chard or trees. The reserved energy stores held within that little seed capsule that grows to feed, to protect the soil and indeed then to decorate the land. We have much to learn from little seeds.

The stunning Amaranth.

This beautifull plant is a stunning addition to a veg patch and a true edimental!!

With some species having edible leaves adding a sublime splash of colour to salads, and some species grown for a grain quite similar to Quinoa.

I didn't plant any this year but the self seeders have reminded me what a stunning addition they are so intend on planting many next year!!

Hurrah I've been looking out for these flowers on Brynllwyds corn for ages. Keep seeing posts of folk with lovely cobs and Brynllwyds hadn't even flowered. Nothing unusual in that as things are always later here.
I wonder if its to do with the wood Ash (potassium) I applied last week??
No cobs yet but definately a step closer!!!

If im not planting, harvesting or hoeing im usually doing something to make compost or mulches at this time of year.
This morning ive been turning a bay of Compost . A load that started at about 7long x 4 ftwide x5ft high,dropping down to about 2.5 ft high in a couple of months.

The compost had reached 65deg c for about 8-10 days and slowly dropped down in temp to about 48 degrees over a period of 2 or so months. It sat with a plastic cover over to keep in heat and moisture.
I was surprised just how wet it was.
Fungal activity hadn't been affected by the high temps (as pic 1) it was still steaming as I turned it.
It is now about 3ft high and temp has dropped to 26 degrees. This is a temporary drop, I'm expecting it to get up to at least 55degrees in the following days.

Compost is a fascination, built from garden waste to feed the soil microbes, vegetables and flowers the following year. And if applied at the right time helping lock in moisture to help in draught conditions like now!!
A wonderfull closed loop system!
