I've been drinking this recently. It tastes nice, with a good kick to it. Loose leaf tea is the way to go.

I'm considering some winter cabbages this year, mainly due to the fact that nothing much will eat them, hopefully. The net completely protected them from birds and butterflies this summer, but they were still ravaged by slugs, (and what looked like the wriggly tiger worms that live in compost heaps, which was very surprising).

Some people make very odd "lifestyle choices" it seems. Home Secretary Suella Braverman wants to restrict use of tents by homeless WWW.BBC.CO.UK The home secretary is proposing new laws, arguing that rough sleeping in tents is a "lifestyle choice".

Yes, mine has been dead easy to grow. I just plonked it in the ground and it's just roared off, no special attention at all. It's about 7 years old now and probably 12 foot high and 12 ft spread. I don't know which particular type it is. I had no idea there were so many Szchuan Pepper trees until I looked at that link. All I know is that it has bloody great thorns and it fruits profusely.

Found in a car park for a woodland walk place. It obviously hadn't grown there, looked like it had been scraped off from somewhere else. No idea why. -

Some of the bean harvest. I'll use some as seeds for next year.

I'd put money on Fungi inheriting the earth after we've fcked it up too much for ourselves. Incredibly successful organisms. BBC Four - The Magic of Mushrooms WWW.BBC.CO.UK Mushroom enthusiast Richard Fortey explores the strange and surprising science of fungi.

Both I reckon. People used to be far more in tune with the natural world around them, but were sick of it after the hours walk home to a cold, dark hovel at the end of a 12 hour working day out in the elements.

Some leftover tomatoes, too late to ripen now. So they're set to ferment, hopefully.

I've seen similar Beech trees, part of out grown laid hedges on top of banks or stone walls, around Exmoor too.

I agree. Who doesn't enjoy a bit of cork-sniffing? We're getting into the realms of Oliver Rackham now.

You'll want trousers if you're going to be climbing, doing aerial chainsaw work. Specifically Type C, which gives all round leg protection. Chaps normally only protect the front of the legs.

Interesting topic. That first photo doesn't look like an Assart Hedge. More like a wall or earth bank hedge where the trees have been left to grow up. You can see the stones underneath the moss and roots. Pretty special place that; Teign Gorge / Fingle Woods.
