We really love reading your posts, i just used this website Swap my Seeds, as a way of giving away my unused seeds. Anyone know what I can sell them for? I have maybe 150 begonia seeds left.

Brilliant job, well done. If you get a chance in the summer, take photos from the same angle so we can see how it’s growing.

Hello, I have just come across your blog hunting on Google as I am researching some material on yeast infections. Looks like a cool site so I have bookmarked this site and intend to revisit tomorrow to give it a proper read when i have more time. Thank you.

I found your site via Dorset Cereals, I think it is very good what you are doing on Naish Farm for the wildlife, however when I went onto your Facebook site I was disappointed by the following entry

” Honeybuns: Had great if knackering day in London yesterday. Meeting loyal customers & new prospects alike.Great to see what new products are out there.
I’m off to Brighton this afternoon for a cuple of days-promoting our new cookies & looking out for quirky,wonderful cakestands & enamel ware in the Lanes.Can’t wait.
Em x ”

Possibly you will think I am being old fashioned in criticising your choice of the word knackering but I am only 54 and many people of my acquaintance would find this an odd choice when describing a day out in London and in connection with promoting a company selling cakes and biscuits. It is a slang expression as per the dictionary I have quoted below.

A knacker is a person in the trade of rendering animals that are unfit for human consumption, such as work horses that have died in harness or are too tired to work any more.[1] This leads to the slang expression “knackered” meaning very tired, or ready for the knacker’s yard, where old horses would be slaughtered and made into dog food and glue. The word is derived from the old Irish word for a horse (an each) pronounced a nack. From this is derived the word for a horse dealer (an eachoir) , pronounced a nack-ower anglicised to a knacker.

Surely there were other words that you could have used such as exhausting, shattering or gruelling?
