@graftandspur Yes, ryegrass will over winter here. So far mustard has been the next hardiest. I was hoping the oats would over winter with the rye but they haven’t.
I grow a diverse cover crop mix from Sept and let their biomass cover the ground and feed the soil biology.
As it’s too warm for Jan some clover and phacelia may start to come through now. The only plants I have growing at the moment are the perennials, teasel, ryegrass and the bulbs. #Zone9a #Allotment #CoverCrops #GreenManures

@graftandspur Yes the phacelia is a wuss with frost. The green manure mustards are a bit hardier but still shouldn’t last the winter. I had to chop and drop it last Feb/March as we hardly had a hard frost.
I leave the stalks in for the soil life to tuck into until I start prepping the beds.
I normally grow a Chinese or Japanese mustard green for a lovely over winter salad, but didn’t have the seed this year.
The ryegrass as a green manure will reliably survive our winter.#Zone9a #Allotment

My no-dig veg beds are finally getting properly established at Woodlands Hall. My soil is beautiful under the cardboard and compost mulch layer...and the Trifolium incarnatum looks gorgeous. Bumbles are very pleased with me too. #regenerative #organic #ukgardens #greenmanure #compostodon #nodig #vegetablegardening

The last hurrah for the dahlias I chose especially for their hyperreal psychedelia. Next year's challenge is to outcompete this combination with even more craziness 🧡💜💛 #Bloomscrolling #GardenersofMastodon #Florespondence #ColourSplash

My peonies doing their peony thing #InMyGarden. The bees love pollen bathing in the middle, and are especially fond of the 'Krinkled White' on the left. The yellow one is P. Bartzella, and the pink one is P. 'Coral Charm'. #Peonies #Paeonia #Bloomscrolling #Florespondence #GardenersOfMastadon

Here's me firewalking for UK horticultural charity Perennial GRBS on 26 October 2023. Perennial support horticulturists with a variety of life challenges, from financial advice and assistance to rehabilitation following life-changing accidents. With the help of some very special family and friends in horticulture I've raised £595 so far... there's still time to donate if you'd like to

First time growing Rainbow Glass Popcorn from Real Seeds. Not the greatest weather for ripening up sunshine hungry crops this year in the UK, but I got a couple of cobs. It's fun, so I'll try my luck again next year and hope for a better summer in 2024. #Bloomscrolling #OrganicVegetables #KitchenGardening #GardenersofMastodon #UKGardens

Fordhall Farm, Market Drayton. Everything they produce is farmed organically and regeneratively without the need for large tractors or machinery. They practice silvopasture, which is a way of considering how tree planting influences and aids wildlife/livestock on the farm. It is completely community owned and runs countless beneficial community projects. Every detail is considered, from water management to recycling all they can from the café/shop.
