I purposely planted alder buckthorn in a new mixed, native hedgerow in 2021, with the sole intent of boosting brimstone butterfly numbers on the farm. This year, I found their caterpillars happily feeding on the plants 😍 @savebutterflies @BC_WestMids

The allotment is finally looking something like decent. A glut of strawberries incoming!! And the grassland around the newly planted fruit trees is looking great as well. Worth the hard work this winter 🙂 Family of redstart on the farm this evening too! ♂️♀️ & 3 juv.

GSW drumming and willow tit calling as I rolled a trough up a field this morning. Feeling spring like! 🙂 Cows should be arriving later 🐂 The first aftermath grazing the fields have had in about 20yrs! Exciting to see how the wildflowers react to the reduced thatch 🌸🌼

Before and after of a hedge I laid today. It'll last longer, be more stock-proof, and provide better habitat for #Wildlife It won't win any competitions, but it's been a satisfying day 🙂 #hedgelaying #NatureFriendlyFarming

This Local Wildlife Site in Crewe was in dire need of action for swifts: 450 pairs down to 50! Luckily, residents have stepped up!! Look at that density of swift boxes! 😀 Time will tell, but I'm confident we will see breeding pairs returning to this site in future years.

A huge thank you to all our volunteers for helping us to clear the paths of ice and snow so that we can still go ahead with the wassail tonight! The paths will be gritted as well, and there will be soup and hot cider and juice, so wrap up warm and come and join us from 4pm! ❄️

No flowering plants for #NewYearPlantHunt as I went soil sampling around the farm. However, I did find a dozen bee orchids rosettes in the lawn 🙂

Started prepping a hedge for laying today and coppiced some hazel poles from another hedge for stakes. Flushed 22 snipe from one of the meadows and had a goshawk fly over 🙂

We have just finished off the onions we grew this summer. Six months of not having to buy them from the shop 🙂 still working our way through the garlic! Really easy to grow and they take up very little space.
Sow and grow annual onions and shallots from seed - save money by growing hundreds of onions and shallots for only a few pounds
