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
A mini treasure trove! Lifted some fallen leaves i A mini treasure trove! Lifted some fallen leaves in my Victorian lean-to and underneath I found 20 ground beetles sheltering in a crevice. Brilliant natural predators, no wonder I don't see many slugs under the overwintering pots! . . #naturalpredator #naturalgardening #predator #groundbeetle #organicgardening #organicallygrown #noslugs #beetle #insect #gardenwildlife

Velvet shank growing on a dead wych elm, pops up e Velvet shank growing on a dead wych elm, pops up every year on the same tree. Sadly we've lost most of the young elm trees on the farm over the last few years. Elm seedlings pop up everywhere, in the hedges and scrubby margins. They grow really quickly but once they get to a certain size the elm beetles find them and within a season they are dead. It's been a bad couple of yrs and we have lots of young dead trees most around 7 /10 years old, but even three year old saplings succumbed this year, probably stressed by the dry spring. Those which are trimmed in the hedge tend to survive as they are kept small and masked by the presence of other spp around them. #dutchelmdisease #elm #fungi #fungusphotography #velvetshank #deadtree #mushroomsofinstagram #organicgardening #organicfarm #mushroomphotography #fungiphotography #fungiofinstagram
Giant Bolivian Achocha glut 🥒🥒🥒🥒🥒 o Giant Bolivian Achocha glut 🥒🥒🥒🥒🥒 on the way, it's growing in the polytunnel and taking over from the #trombocino #courgette glut. Lost crop of the Incas useful crop which I use in stir fries while larger fruits are hollow so I remove the large black seeds and stuff them. Easy to grow, somewhat rampant climber! Doesn't seem to suffer from mildew.

They are still busy! Cabbage white caterpillars 🐛🐛🐛 munching the nasturtiums, not seen them active so late in the year before!, no doubt they will pupate and overwinter ready to pop out early next year, need a hard frost to finish them off. . . #caterpillar #cabbagewhite #nasturtium #gardenpests

Humm, #kalettes growing well but #whiteflies also Humm, #kalettes growing well but #whiteflies also doing well, clustered around the apical bud. They have been netted so I think they have benefited from the sheltered microhabitat and lack of predators. Now decision - remove the nets but risk pigeon damage, or leave nets and hope the rain this week knocks them back. .

Great crop of #medlars this year. Not all everybod Great crop of #medlars this year. Not all everybody's taste but an easy fruit. Leave on tree until soft, process called bletting which is different from rotting! The fruit becomes sweeter and tangy.
