Have you lost a cat? Needham Market Suffolk

This small cat now known as No-Name arrived last Saturday. It is causing havoc with our 3 cats and we don't really need another cat. It is in good condition, we have been trying to ignore it in the hope it will return to its rightful home, Please contact us if you think it belongs to you.

Introduction to smallholding life Suffolk

We have 2 places available on the next Introduction to Smallholding Life course.
This is being held on Monday 26th March here at Bungeons Farm.
Please contact me if you are interested.

Today is willow weaving day, I need to light the fire in the summerhouse and sort my willow,
My aim for today is to make a perfectly round sturdy hedging basket, Then I have a few orders for plant supports to complete.

We have had a good 50 mm of rain if not more the last few days, It is so welcome to see and hear the rain ,
2 of our ponds are empty and the horsepond is incredibly low and a bright flourescent green colour.

Plant support workshops

Now the soaking tank has thawed out and the days are longer, I have got the workshops up and running. These are generally held on Saturdays and Wednesday or Thursday. Please get in touch if you are interested in learning more about willow weaving I am happy to work on a one to one basis or with a group. .

I have my plant supports and cloches for sale at The Garden Mill at Alder Carr Farm in Needham Market.  

I also sell my willow weavings from home here at Bungeons Farm along with our produce, plants and at the moment some green willow recently coppiced which is suitable for larger living willow structures.

Willow weaving workshops

Garden Cloches
I am running this workshop on Thursday 9th Feb staring at 10am, The cost is £35 this includes all materials and lunch.
Plant supports
 If you are interested in learning how to make these plant supports or cloches please contact me.
We have been offered some more willow to harvest so getting that cut, sorted and stored  along with still clearing the footpaths are the main tasks at the moment.
I will be running more workshops about organic vegetable growing and willow weaving  in March and April and will post the dates on the blog.

Willow Harvest

Our first homegrown willow harvest. I am always on the hunt for willow and hazel,. Some friends let me coppice one of their very old hazels so I now have quite a few straight uprights to use for plant supports. We also coppiced a willow fence which is crack willow it is not recommended for weaving but I am going to see how it works for hurdles.
In the garden the garlic and onions  have pushed through the soil and seem to be away, the broad beans are showing their first leaves . I still have rocket its seems happier now than it did in the summer. I have started  the process of spreading our compost on the deep beds it has been so dry I wanted the soil to have some moisture in it before before mulching. I still can't decide if I should  mulch the willow beds with wood chip or not ,
I have fed candy to the bees who have been out and about in this mild weather. The hens have stopped laying and the cattle have gone to Norfolk for a while.

Willow Cloches

I have  these cloches for sale at The Green Barn Ringshall, well worth a visit for meat ,veg and other goodies, and also at Hadleigh Pet Foods along with the bird feeders. In the spring I will be running  workshops in how to make these and also the plant supports. The cloches are really useful on top of tubs to stop ducks and hens from trying to nest as well as protecting small plants from rabbits and deer, wrapped with fleece they offer some frost protection. They can be made to the dimensions of your container. We also have bark chippings to sell at the moment (see previous blog).
