Compost heap
It’s time to clear spent crops away to the compost heap

It’s September, and here in the Alternative Kitchen Garden we’re looking back at what’s been happening this summer and turning our thoughts to getting ready for winter.

As well as harvesting the last summer crops before the first frosts (check out the frost dates in your area), we’re saving seeds, sowing green manures, getting ready to make leaf mould and thinking about homes for wildlife. And on top of all that we’re sowing seeds for winter salads and leafy greens and peashoots!

To round off the show we have a wonderful music track from Rebsie Fairholm (who also blogs at Daughter of the Soil) about something that disturbs the peace in many an autumn garden.

  1. Hi Emma,

    Great show again. Thank you for the excellent reminders of all things Fall.

    It has also been wet here in Canada so our seasons have been very much the same.

    Thanks for the inspiration to keep plugging away at it.

    The Chickens, which were raised after listening to you, started laying about 3 weeks ago! Thank you very much for that!
