A revised diet for the planet (what hubris!) was published on October 2nd.
It's barely different to the original (launched in Jan 2019) and hence it is still badly nutritionally deficient.
Harvesting this morning in our forest garden: Blenheim Orange Apples.
Large apples which can be used for both cooking and eating. Blenheim Orange makes for a very vigorous tree - ladders were involved!

As well as providing diversity of planting and attracting beneficial pollinators and other pest predators it provides harvests. In the spring the flower petals make excellent garnishes and we can gather the hips in Autumn to make Rosehip Syrup.
Harvesting this morning in our forest garden: Rosehips (Rosa Canina).

Another wild plant which we let colonise (within reason) in our forest garden.
The giant version contains sap which has furocoumarin which makes your skin extremely sensitive to sunlight and can cause burns. As with all wild food be 100% sure of your identification - the family to which hogweed belongs does contains poisonous plants such as Hemlock.
Harvesting this morning in our forest garden: Hogweed Seeds.

Hogweed or common hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) is a brilliant wild food sometimes confused with giant hogweed.
We are going to use this in a Parkin recipe for an extra spicy flavour. Last year we worked in conjunction with Professor Viren, Director of Human nutrition at the University of Sheffield to develop a recipe lower in added sugar.
@LouisaHWalker Well done for your perseverance. I was beaten by slugs for most of the annual veg and have fallen back on perennial crops (fruit trees, herbs, rhubarb, soft fruit, nut trees) and foraging. Some of the apples not looking bad!
@SheffieldHoney All our printer problems went away years ago when we started using @cspsystemsltd - fabulous service and we basically pay a fixed monthly amount (very reasonable) for superb quality printing. Highly recommended.
Proud of our latest electric van / some great deals around on business lease for electric vans at the moment.
We make our #Sheffield deliveries even more sustainable by charging with our 37 solar panels.
