Friends of Abbey Gardens

Bindweed: it’s sneaky. You have to ferret about to find the roots that are hiding, otherwise it comes back. We’ve been clearing this tenacious beastie ready for our apple trees along the back wall of the garden. Pausing to admire some surprise flowers, there’s been harvesting of our glut of tomatoes – and praise for Dasha’s wonderful tomato ketchup. We’ve wandered-off with some Cavolo Nero to find out what it tastes like. And our magnificent haul of potatoes is graded and going into a few ovens this evening, with the rest stored. There’s something very satisfying about baking a potato you dug up earlier… The garden is looking gorgeous in the Autumn light so pull on your wellies and join us! [Lydia]
