First batch of green tomato chutney in the jar. It already has a nice bite to it, but it'll need a few months to mature properly.

Dear #rewilding / #permaculture / #smallholding / #tree planting people of the fediverse,

I'm looking for planting ideas for a field boundary windbreak, preferably fairly quick growing, ending up say 5-8m high or easily manageable to that height.

Exposed location - doing this because there is basically nothing between our kitchen garden/orchard trees and whatever weather comes up the Bristol Channel.

Monday morning, misty and damp after a weekend of Storm Amy. All peaceful and quiet.

We have an abundance of blackberries growing in the garden right now. It's wonderful. I've been making crumbles. They are also absolutely delicious, stewed #LowFoodMiles #sustainability #seasonality #PesticideFree #Harvest #Smallholding #OrganicLiving #HomeGrown
Occasionally I post a #sheep photo as I also manage a #smallholding in SW #Scotland.
The recent warmer weather has been a concern, but we do have several shady spots.
The garden is an abundance of fruit and vegetables right now. It's wonderful. 🍓🍎🍒 Nothing tastes as good as homegrown. 💚 #TheGoodLife #Smallholding #Smallholder #LifeAsASmallholder
