#30DaysWild Strained off first lot of Comfrey fertilizer (very smelly), picked some more for next batch.
36 year old nappy bucket perfect for the job.
Left plenty of flowers for the bees.

🔊 The neighborhood watch asked if Gerald is supposed to show off like that. Our @stephenshelle20 said ‘he’s expressing himself.’ 🚙😎

Weeded the onions this morning, trying not to trip up over the poppies in the process ❤️💚💪

Graham has managed to move the majority of our hives to the field beans today. A few more to move over the coming days but overall a very productive day indeed. Hopefully they'll be very happy in their new surroundings for the next few weeks.

Cheers everyone 👍 but wait…looks like a weak Guinness but smells awful 😆 my fermented stringing nettle juice for plant fertiliser is definitely ready and used in my greenhouse today. Now my greenhouse smells kinda bad 😆💚💪👍
Decided to make some liquid feed from nettles. Will take about a month to ferment. Used 130 litres of water and with a dilution rate of 10 parts water to 1 part nettle stew will give a maximum of 1300 litres of liquid feed. Video of process 👇

My garden’s very pink right now but the rose hedge is glorious. Love this little pale pink rambler

#SixOnSaturday I have so many different poppies at the moment & the bees are going crazy for them. Had some good showers this week as well, things are looking lush. #MyGarden
