god bless hilary

I met hilary at her allotment at a secret location in west london. She supplied four packs of local butter from Berkely Farm Dairy near Swindon.

She also gave me some greens to take home and told me about some organic slug pellets she is using that work without harming cute things like birds.

The greens were amazing:
fresh oregano - i am attempting to grow a cutting
sorrel - a revelation in a world without lemons - I must have some!
purple sprouting - the staple of local organic eating
some green leaves - nice!

This hanging around in a garden plot and trading cuttings reminds of what the women get up to in the amazon chacras where we were so many years ago.

Its nice to feel that sense of unity with people who live so far away.



Thanks Hilary

a Plea for Butter

The one item we are struggling to locate a regular supply for within 100 miles, is butter. Please help! The butter we found so far is either made from the cream on the top of the Duchy Milk or else from a tiny place in sussex that we cant go back to for a while.

Sometimes bugs are spotted: I liked these ones.

Why We Love Weeds

Plants for a Future are like me, advocates of weed gardening. Here's why: http://www.pfaf.org/user/cmspage.aspx?pageid=44 Things have been very intense for the past couple of years while we are setting up home but the garden is beginning to get some attention at last and some of the Goblin's fruits are being planted...so the blog will begin to revive this year.
