More superhot weather for lifting our maincrop potatoes last week. Thanks to our borehole and irrigation, most crops are doing okay in the dry conditions, but wouldn't mind some cooler and wetter weather now - especially when working in the polytunnels 🥵🥱🙏

By some miracle, John found a gap amid the constant wet and managed to plough! So maybe we'll be planting potatoes and beans on time after all... 🚜🙏🤞🥔🌱

So many super-tasty apples this year - all from our certified organic traditionally managed orchards. Out of the 30 or so varieties that we grow, Jupiter, Blenheim Orange and Cornish Gilliflower are currently selling at The Granary in Penzance, Bosavern Community Farm near St Just and the Spar in Sennen. Check out John's description of each. You can tell how much he loves apples! 🍎🍏🥰

When the ground's too wet to cultivate, but the air is dry...it's pruning time! It's always the winter job that slips into spring, but we seem to get away with it. It's a lovely time to be amongst the apple trees too 🍏🍎😊🌸🌞

Happy spring equinox everyone! Good to get mulching of apple trees and soft fruit done before the rain, along with a decent ploughing session. And pick a few more narcissi from the woodland - a beautiful March treat to keep us going.

The world may be in turmoil but some things remain the same: the seasons turn, John ploughs the land for spuds and beans, and tea and crumpets are a match made in heaven. 🌥🍮☕😋🥔🫘🚜The new growing season has begun!

Long time, no post - whoops! Now, the spring sunshine and rain are making everything grow, and John has discovered he can listen to audio books and cultivate on the tractor at the same time. Happy days!
