New blog & digital retro zine coming soon... permaculture, circular systems, recycling, abundance, biodiversity, (pr)activism, art sustainability, nature 💚
Due to a #breastcancer diagnosis I’ve sadly put my blog on hold but this gives me something super exciting to look forward to in the very near future 💚🌎💚 @AbundantTimes_ coming in 2023…

GREAT to see that #ChrisPackham will join the Oxford Real Farming Conference (#ORFC23) in January as a show of solidarity with leading voices in #Agroecology from six continents who recognise the urgent need to transform #Food & #Farming by working with #Nature, not against it.

Oxford Real Farming Conference

They were there for us when we needed them most.
Now they need our support to get the fair deal they deserve.

Frosty scenes at the #allotment yesterday morning, sadly including some Finocchio that we hadn’t harvested, the bulbs wouldn't have kept so we cooked them down straight away.
On the plus side, the white mustard green manure might be killed off by the frost as hoped.

This is a living #willow structure that I helped to build on Sunday at my local primary school with a few volunteers who run their afterschool Eco Club.

The poles were sourced from my #allotment and each one represents a single year's growth. Which is why I coppice them right back each year, otherwise they'd take over.

I gave one of the willows a second haircut in May. Despite the really dry year that we've had I've still been able to harvest some useful basketmaking material from it.

Today's #harvest.

Aromatic mango turmeric / ginger (மாங்கா மஞ்சள்/ மா இஞ்சி)

Tasty purple lab lab beans (கொம்பவரை)

Oh yeah, and there's a natural rock in my garden too. I thought it was a cut stone then realised the land was never built up before.

A little dose of green for rainy days - the garden being its lushest self this summer.
The polytunnel was such a tomato jungle, in the end you had to duck to walk through it.
What a magical space a garden is <3
