2026-03-17T16:56:59Z

These plants - originally kalettes and purple sprouting broccoli - now interbred and self seeded have fed us with this wonderful food daily for several months so far this year and will go on doing so for several more months. We never tire of it. The stalks taste as good as asparagus and the green is very tasty. The early bumblebees, when they emerge, will feast on the flowers that open. So don’t pull up the old plants and they will feed you and the bees and will self seed

Well the visit to our valley by the Carmarthen Hunt passed off ok eventually - Rob did good shouting at the field gate when the pack tried to come through and only a couple of hounds appeared in the sheep fields and the sheep hid. No riders at all - hooray for snow keeping them away probably. But no people with the hounds - why is this allowed still? But bonus - a pair of healthy foxes seen in one of our fields early this morning so the Hunt is, as we knew, ineffective ✊🏼

My husband had symptoms, ended in A&E, tablets for two years and asked the doctor (when he’d managed to get an appointment for something else) if he could stop the tablets. Given a PSA test which showed nearly normal so stopped tablets and seems fine. That initial hurdle of getting the blood test needs to be routine like bowel cancer screening. 🙄🤷🏼

_________________________

I also farm on a very small scale and began at 59 twelve years ago. I learned by reading, thinking and from our traditional neighbour. I think we were lucky to be able to buy at the very bottom of the market or I couldn’t be doing this. So lifetime tenancy would be ok for us but learning how to farm a bigger spread wouldn’t be so easy since ag colleges seem fixed on big machinery and big inputs. Apprenticeship at any age might be good….
