Yesterday I snuck away from work (well... it’s a quiet time in the garden) and went to see The Biggest Little Farm. What a great movie! If you’re interested in farming, sustainable food production, nature, or just want to spend a happy 90 minutes in a warm cinema watching something truly inspiring and beautiful, get yourself to a screening ASAP!

I’ve been watching as the leaves on the cherry tree have taken on their autumn colours. Summer’s green has all but disappeared. Now it’s all about buttery yellow with a hint of rose pink. #kitchengarden #cherrytree #biodiversity #autumnleaves🍂 #ediblegarden #growyourown #autumncolors #orchard #getgrowing #localfood #autumninthegarden #embracingtheseasons #sustainablelifestyle #regenerativegardening #cherryleaves #gardenmagic #growfoodnotlawns #groworganic #happygardeninglife #fallleaves #thisautumnlife #autumnvibes #autumnmagic #fallcolors🍁🍂 #gardenecology #november #growyourownfood

For a few weeks in the run up to Halloween, pretty much every supermarket you go into has mounds of orange pumpkins strategically positioned to catch your eye as you enter the store. The pumpkin has been associated with All Hallows' Eve since Irish immigrants arrived in America and began carving them into lanterns in place of the turnips they would traditionally have used at home. Seeing the pumpkins being marketed as an essential part of your Halloween celebrations, it’s easy to forget that they’re more than just a decoration. Pumpkins are food too… #kitchengarden #pumpkin #biodiversity #pumpkinpatch #ediblegarden #growyourown #plottoplate #homegrownfood #getgrowing #localfood #autumninthegarden #embracingtheseasons #sustainablelifestyle #regenerativegardening #halloweenlantern #pumpkinlantern #growfoodnotlawns #groworganic #happygardeninglife #foodwaste #thisautumnlife #foodfromthegarden #autumnmagic #healthyfood #gardenecology #eatwelllivewell #growyourownfood

Garlic needs a spell of cold weather to form cloves. Which makes round about now the ideal time to be planting for next year’s harvest. It’s a kitchen essential here, and homegrown is always better than shop-bought. I’m going to be growing a softneck (for longer storing) and a hardneck (for edible flower stems) variety this year, both from @franchiseedsofitaly . Just waiting for the ground to dry out a little after all that rain before I start planting... #kitchengarden #garlic #biodiversity #healthysoil #ediblegarden #growyourown #plottoplate #homegrownfood #getgrowing #localfood #autumninthegarden #embracingtheseasons #sustainablelifestyle #regenerativegardening #homegrownisbest #veggiepatch #growfoodnotlawns #groworganic #happygardeninglife #autumnplanting #thisautumnlife #foodfromthegarden #autumnmagic #healthyfood #gardenecology #eatwelllivewell #growyourownfood

We’re enjoying the last few pears... their keeping qualities are less than perfect (although they do preserve beautifully and deliciously as a jam), so they need eating before they turn to mush. #kitchengarden #orchard #biodiversity #healthysoil #ediblegarden #growyourown #plottoplate #homegrownfruit #getgrowing #wildlifegarden #autumninthegarden #embracingtheseasons #sustainablelifestyle #regenerativegardening #pears #autumnfruit #growfoodnotlawns #groworganic #happygardeninglife #autumnharvest #thisautumnlife #localfood #autumnmagic #growanorchard #gardenecology #eatwelllivewell #fiveaday

The shorter days of late summer and autumn prompt the oca plants to start forming their knobbly, pinkish tubers. Most of the plants are doing this without any fuss - all the work is going on hidden away underground. But this one has decided to produce a wee flush of flowers too. A welcome splash of yellow on a grey day! #kitchengarden #oca #biodiversity #healthysoil #ediblegarden #growyourown #plottoplate #homegrownfood #getgrowing #wildlifegarden #autumninthegarden #embracingtheseasons #sustainablelifestyle #regenerativegardening #yellowflowers #autumnflowers #growfoodnotlawns #groworganic #happygardeninglife #autumnharvest #thisautumnlife #localfood #autumnmagic #veggiepatch #gardenecology #eatwelllivewell #sunshineflowers
