Autumn 🍂 perfect time to collect leaves and make leafmould.
Why leafmould?
It's free.... acts as a soil conditioner, its a form of organic matter that’s perfect for mulching your beds or borders
Well-rotted leafmould can be used as seed-sowing compost , or mixed equally with garden compost and good quality soil for use as potting compost.
Place the leaves into a bin liner, moisten them if they are dry, then pierce holes in the bag, tie the top loosely and stack the bags out of sight for a year.
Or alternatively if you have the space make your leaf heap to hasten decay, and moisten it occasionally if it becomes dry.
Most leaves take about 1 -2 years to break down completely and it depends on the weather
Collecting leaves is very relaxing and its great sensory activity.
Happy composting

Yes, it is officially Autumn 🍂 which means it is peak chutney season.
Spiced Green Tomatoes and Quince is our favorite....
This year we added some apple, pear and rhubarb to our existing recipe 😋
The secret to good chutney is a slow, patient simmer that lets the vinegar, sugar, and spices melt into a thick, jammy paste.
You cannot rush a chutney so allow few hours.
All produce picked from our community garden and prepared by our volunteers.
The jars are available at our caffe shop Thursday to Sunday.
Which one is your favorite chutney flavour?

Tromboncino - You’ve all heard by now thanks to 😉 but we have been growing the tasty squash for many years at garden.
Not only are they easy to grow but they’re vigorous, tasty and nutritious.
They make great side dish simply sliced and roasted or diced and added to a vegetable frittata.
The flavour is sweet and nutty.
Tromboncino can be added well to a curry, tagine or stew.
We make yummy Tromboncino soup available at our community cafe.
This year we have grown the biggest Tromboncino long 1.27m maybe next year we can challenge Kevin from the (his Tromboncino was 1.48m long) amazing 👏
Have you grown tromboncinos?
Next year.... let's grow together 💚

We eventually all drink the water that is in our rivers.
The water is pumped out of rivers into cleaning plants, cleaned and then sent to our homes.
The more pollution we dump into rivers, the more likely our tap water will also contain contaminants after cleaning. Microplastics, for instance are very hard to remove!
