They’re right next to the hot bed, hopefully it’ll be hot enough to keep next weeks frost off 🤞🏻 #hotbed #nodig #gardening #gardeningtips #marketgardening #salad #leicester #biodynamicfarming #biodynamic

Compost arrived for this coming growing season. I’m looking forward to using #moorlandgold, it’s comes highly recommended by @charles_dowding #nodig #organicgardening #seed #startingfromseed #seedstarting #seedbeads
The Tunnel was 10 degrees, and as low as 0. Plants where frozen but still alive. While the hot bed was a nice toasty 60 degrees. #salad #microherbs #wintersalad #nodig #biodynamic #biodynamicfarming #gardening #gardeningtips #gardeninglife #allotmentlife #leicester #clarendonpark #clarendonparkleicester #clarendonparkroad #aylestone #leicestervegans #climatechange #hotbed

Happy New Year! I sowed these In July, very slow growing and I can only assume the warm winter has helped. #romanescobroccoli #biodynamicfarming #biodynamic #leicester #leicestervegans
The Three Kings arrived in time! Developed by Hugo Erbe a biodynamic farmer in Germany, this Preparation can be seen as an offering to the elemental world and a blessing for the earth. Applied along the boundary of a farm/garden etc it helps ward off negative influences from outside. Applied inside the circle, along a path etc, it can serve to harmonise elemental influences from within the estate. Best prepared New Year’s Eve and to be applied 6th Jan 2-4pm. Happy New Year everyone. #biodynamic #biodynamicfarming #threekings #leicester #gardeningtips #organicgardening #permaculture #saladgarden #nodig #nodiggardening #clarendonparkleicester

Prepping Nettle tea to tackle white fly. This is the second batch, the first made and applied yesterday so far has worked a treat. I’ll add 7 drops of #findhorn #floweressence #energyshield as a extra boost. #permaculture #biodynamic #biodynamicfarming #findhornfoundation #leicester #clarendonparkleicester #aylestone #nodig #gardening #gardeningtips #gardeningideas
There's no going back - I never knew salad could be so interesting, yum yum!
The best salad ever!Good luck with your venture Gary!!!
Salad was delicious and full of flavour and lasted over a week without turning to slush like the supermarket salads!!
I was never a big salad fan until I sampled the salad garden leaves. you'll never buy from a supermarket again!
Fantastic stuff, real produce that tastes as it should. Makes the trips back worthwhile. Please don't run out!
