There’s nothing quite like popping open a sun-warmed pea pod and tasting the crisp, sweet burst of a fresh pea.
This variety is called Victorian purple podded pea, a very rare and rather beautiful variety that we have been growing and saving on the community garden for a number of years. 🫛

Head beekeeper Richard, and his assistant Jon inspect our hives on a regular basis. 🐝
Thanks to Richard’s careful management we now have six functioning hives from the two colonies we purchased back in March.
This means we will have a good supply of honey on sale later in the summer. 🍯
