The shop is stocked with sunflower, tomato and cucumber plants (all £2 but they'll have to go on the compost soon so if you want to pay less, please take some!) 🌻🥒🍅

I've also got fresh salad mix bags for £2.50, lettuce heads for £1.50, fresh parsley and coriander £1 each, and bought in organic carrots, beetroot, cabbage and potatoes (price list on the table)
It's looking to be a scorcher, very much looking forward to spending some time with pals in the sun after a long and productive week!

Today we had a visit from Shropshire barn owl group and were delighted to learn that we have 5 babies in our box! Their ages range from around 37 to 52 days old so they're in varying stages of fluffiness 🥹
Their parents are roosting elsewhere now and will just visit to drop off food for them, and the oldest ones aren't too far from fledging.
It's been a really good year for them this year which is a relief after last year, when our nest box was empty for the first time, and in many other places there weren't many.

The abundance of acorns and hawthorn berries last autumn means that there are lots of field mice and voles around for them to eat this year, so lots of owls! Hurray! 🎉🦉

Ticked a big job off the list today - 22 wheelbarrow loads of compost, 40 odd bamboo canes, 40 something sunflowers and 20 sweet peas planted out!
Probably should be prioritising veg beds but I just really wanted to grow these two flowers this year, because they make me happy. They've been sitting looking at me for months (I sowed the sweet peas in January! 🫠) poor things looked very rootbound but hopefully they'll be much happier now with lots of lovely compost to grow into.

Just need to water them in now but I'm having a little lie down first 😅

Today - cut my finger on a new knife and found some yarrow to staunch the bleeding (I do have a first aid kit in my field kitchen but this felt quicker 🤣)

Lots of side quests and then the lovely Ali came to give me a hand clearing the chard to make way for cucumbers next week! It was actually surprisingly quick, the chard seemed to have blocked out a lot of the w**ds so I just need to do a bit along the edges before I get my cucs in.

And finally, Canada goslings! 😍

Three orders out the door this morning including these beautiful lettuce heads to Quatt farm shop! You can also find some of my leaves at .severn in Bridgnorth 💚

Had a slightly frustrating afternoon fiddling around with bracing and crop bars on my polytunnel... But luckily Dibs was on hand for cuddles while we sheltered from the rain 🥰
My honesty shop will be open and fully stocked all weekend, pop in anytime, at Weston house on the B4368 (on the corner going up to Ditton Priors)
Have a great weekend everyone!
