#BucksportME! "The #Bucksprouts #SeedLibrary is now open! Community members can come take seeds to plant and grow their own flowers and vegetables. Our initial seed donation was through the generosity of #HighMowingSeeds with additional seeds donated by #Mainescape and other patrons. Our intent is for gardeners to learn how to #SaveSeeds so that we can provide this resource for years to come. Many thanks to all of our dedicated volunteers who made this possible. Come take some seeds, learn gardening tips, and network with others who garden too."

After feeding us practically all summer, our beans will now feed us over the winter. (With some to save for planting next year.)

Shelled beans drying in containers on my dining room table. From top to bottom of photo: pinto beans, black beans, and white beans.

The pintos were from bush beans, the black from haricot verts, the white from yellow beans.

We had unseasonably warm weather here in Forest of Dean (FoD) last week and it's nice and mild today. It rained last night properly for the first time in a while. Things are waking up and there's enough in the garden to keep us ticking over. The greenhouses are packed with salad greens, many self-seeded from last year. So we have salad greens just about every day. Seedlings are coming along well too.
The bees are quiet today but they had a great year and done well over the winter WITHOUT any help from chemicals or sugar feed. I don't treat them or feed them.
Last year they swarmed!
The willow hedge we put in for a windbreak did it's job over the winter, protecting the greenhouses.
This year, I'm back at it (after donating a kidney last year which knocked my growing schedule last year).
Last year was so awful for so many growers with the cold summer and record breaking rain and flooding. Here's hoping this year is a bit drier! #growyourownfood #goodfoodcomesfromthegarden #permaculture #nodig #bees #willow #seedsovereignty #saveseeds #growagarden #goodfoodisnotrocketscience #radicalgardening #resistbigagriculture #soilhealth

Respite worker has arrived.
I'll be outside, #sowing more #seeds for next couple of hours. Starting with this mix of #edible herbs & flowers. Creating a few pretty edible pots with them.
