Probably the last chilli harvest of the season. They look fantastic though. I'll put them to use in some lacto-fermented chilli sauce.

Yesterday we hosted a @Yorkcares team challenge. Great team, and ticked a few more jobs off the task list! Weeding the entrance (not stirictly our job but we try to be good neighbours!), making a new flower bed and clearing some paths

The @RHS_Rosemoor team have been busy in the Cottage Garden meadow! Cutting the meadow near the apple trees can be tricky, so they use a hand scythe, which provides a cleaner cut, is less harmful to wildlife, and is quieter ๐ŸŒฑ What's the oldest garden tool in your shed?

Winning! The 4 year old only likes artichoke leaves from @YorkGreenfields and didn't like the heart :D
A plate with lots of purple and pale green artichoke leaves, with a knife and spoon on it. Some grated carrot is on a white chopping board behind

Please don't cut back ivy if tidying your garden! At this time of year in the UK, its flowers are a great late season pit-stop for struggling pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths. Then the berries will feed hungry birds in winter ๐Ÿ๐ŸŒฟ

Beautiful but dangerous! @riverfossYork spotted this last week, pity I didnโ€™t catch it at its peak but I assume weโ€™ll maybe see other examples, so need to watch out for them. #gianthogweed
