Our Learner plotters unearthed a bumper crop of tubers from their Helianthus strumosus today, pale-leaved woodland sunflower. The tubers are edible, a nutty and creamy flavour, nice roasted or in a soup.

There's a big space where the old greenhouse was as @sccoopstreatham are preparing the site for our new bigger better shared greenhouse, very exciting!

Green manure patchwork has grown well, and lots of work on no-dig beds, and thinning out winter green salads🥬
