The Linear Legume: May 2014
http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 31 May 2014. Garden Organic Members experiments 2014. This year, I thought I would have more time as I am not employed full time, but only now teach 2 1/2 days a week; but it seems I am busier than ever as running a business, getting new funding and designing and delivering new courses is a very time consuming job! I had signed up to do the members experiments and wanted to document them on here to remind myself to make the necessary records as much as anything. Firstly; the Biochar experiment.

The Linear Legume: January 2013
http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, 27 January 2013. It's that time of year again. When we look towards the new season with excited faces and remember that. We have to make netting. Yes. We could buy it but where's the fun in that? I recently found some fishing shuttles on ebay and now that they have arrived, I'm busy again making some netting to grow my lovely veggies up. I've taken a photo with some different settings on my camera; because I can! Tuesday, 22 January 2013. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Go Stay Work Play Live. I've n...

The Linear Legume: Vertical potato bed
http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2015/04/vertical-potato-bed.html
Sunday, 26 April 2015. At the community gardens, we had some spare potatoes so we have decided to try a vertical bed. We weeded the ground underneath, and put one of our wire compost bins on top of the soil. On that, we put a chimney of compost and soil, with a surround of hay. We then put about 3 levels of 3-4 potatoes, finishing off with around 8 in the top layer. We watered it well, and will start to put kitchen scraps in and will tip the grey water into the middle to keep it watered. The sun is shini...

The Linear Legume: Summing things up and new to grow!
http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2015/01/summing-things-up-and-new-to-grow.html
Saturday, 10 January 2015. Summing things up and new to grow! Well, what a busy year. I make no apologies, when things are busy you just have to knuckle down. So last year I only made a few significant posts on here. I'll put it on here once I have been awarded the qualification but for now, lets just say I'm looking forward to having some spare time again. I've been doing some supply work and spreading the word about food growing in schools. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Go Stay Work Play Live.

The Linear Legume: Leek/garlic grass?
http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2015/04/leekgarlic-grass.html
Sunday, 26 April 2015. So - I am only blogging new or interesting stuff, you don't want the same old nonsense each year right? So - new developments. My Leek/garlic grass. I seem to have bred a new thing. It has come from a bunching onion, which I think may have crossed with something else and the resulting well, result - is garlic grass. In the pics it is growing in amongst one of my garden beds, with nigella, Szechuan pepper, strawberries, parsley and poppies. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). As I w...

The Linear Legume: February 2014
http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 23 February 2014. Today it was chilli peppers, tomatoes, quinces from the fruits off the quince tree they gave me when I left Ryton, and some grape seeds. Pic of the seed circles ones sown to follow. Saturday, 22 February 2014. It is starting to look nice and green in the aptly named greenhouse now. I have some of my favourite things germinating, agastache, beetroot, kale. Chioggia from own saved sweet, and the first little agastache from home saved seed. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I've not got ...

The Linear Legume: Egyptian Walking Onions, Topsetting Onions
http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2014/07/egyptian-walking-onions-topsetting.html
Monday, 14 July 2014. Egyptian Walking Onions, Topsetting Onions. I've been growing these for about 8 years now - I just leave them to grow and harvest the bulbils for giving away, or for selling etc; and I've not encountered this before. The tops are usually quite small, a few mm in diameter, sometimes a cm but this year, they are the size of shallots. And this is also the year that I got garlic that did not split:. I usually note if something strange happens and this is it. Go Stay Work Play Live.

http://linearlegume.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, 24 February 2013. I have been quite good today - I sorted out the wormery compost from my wormery - and got that one and 2 others from freecycle up and running - each tray has a starter worm collection, plus browns and greens and loads of scrunched up paper for insulation. 2 will be going to the community garden as soon as the spring hits us. Mark also emptied the dalek, and put all the good stuff in the compost bin so I harvested hundreds of fresh worms for the wormeries so that's good! JD's Spe...
