Pumpkin seeds - the latest haul from one of my sto Pumpkin seeds - the latest haul from one of my stored Styrian pumpkins that produce thin-skinned / hulless seeds perfect for snacking - so moorish, they don't last long! Sadly the flesh is not the tastiest so goes in veg soups. But worthy of its place on the plot - lots of growth, ground cover, attractive fruits and a valuable product.

Potatoes for the new season chitting well. There a Potatoes for the new season chitting well. There are 8 varieties from @plantspennard but do I have enough? With no #potatoday it was difficult to judge how much to buy and some varieties not available. There are a couple of large tubers - do you leave as one or cut up to create several smaller ones?

This day goes back to 1795 and the work of naturalist Gilbert White who recorded that 21 February was the day he would first see the Celandine flowers. Now thanks to climate change we see them much earlier. Despite the chill and snow, celandines have been flowering under our oaks for the last few weeks

It looks pretty disgusting, like the innards of some poor animal but it's fungal and it's getting larger by the day. It's a jelly fungus. Not sure which - possibly a star jelly. It's the type of thing you walk past without a second glance but it's really worth getting down on your knees for a closer look - they are fascinating organisms! . . . #fungiofinstagram #fungi #fungiphotography #weirdfungi #jellyfungus
A bit of #rewilding, here's a wander around a 2 ac A bit of #rewilding, here's a wander around a 2 acre field that I'm rewilding, we dug out a half acre pond 15 yrs ago and created some mounds divided by gullies from the spoil to diversify the habitats for colonisation, we had lots of weeds to start but then the willow arrived, followed by oak. I counted 7 young oak trees, some ash plus blackthorn spreading from surrounding hedgerow.Towards the end of the video you can see the pond surrounded by willow and poplar and the grassy area that is a damp wildflower meadow which attracts loads of butterflies and bees in summer
