Last day of the #ForkAndDigIt #BrightonCSA #Organic growing traineeship.

Have also finished v1 of the #realseedcompany #opensource seed cleaning machine - a thankyou gift to the project 💚

Prepping rosehips this evening & have discovered that a useful byproduct is home made itching powder (from the tiny hairs which surround the seeds).

Crikey it’s itchy 😬 - but rosehip tea all winter will be grand!

Main job at #ForkAndDigIt today was netting the fruit cage. Also eating raspberries 😊

We have a private company (Roots Allotments) bidding to set up private #allotments on council (public) land. They want to take what is ours and rent it back at many multiples of the cost.

If the council falls for this it could be the beginning of the end for affordable plots!

See Disney is celebrating 100 yrs with an exhibition. Made me think of this piece (from a back issue of Spectacular Times). Don’t suppose they will be covering the lemmings…
