a quiet village in Chapainawabganj has become the centre of local curiosity and inspiration after an agricultural entrepreneur successfully cultivated chinese oranges, an achievement many had believed impossible in Bangladesh.

Getting asked lots of questions here about how we deal with the bramble regrowth in the newly cleared glasshouse.
Simple answer is when we see fresh shoots we nip the root ball out with a mattock. Look at the size of some of them!
Seems to be working well so far.

It does make me laugh that the Kiwis are absolutely fine every single day. Then the first proper frost makes it say "nope", and every leaf comes off.
Some plants have proper personalities...or maybe I've been around them for too long! 😄

Medlars are now harvested. Let the bletting commence.
After grading the tray on the left is unbletted and the fruit is still hard and has that lovely golden colour still.
The tray on the right are bletted so they are a darker brown and squashy.
