Looks like we may be achieving some of our aims

For those of you who have either come from our main website, or choose to go there next (www.questforthegoodlife.co.uk), will know that we have a list of aims on our home page.  These are simply what we wish to do.  The rest of the web site goes into how we try to do it.

The third aim is to "create a diverse natural habitat for wildlife".  Of course when you are gardening, you could argue that's not natural, but we don't use any chemicals and plant things that are of value to wildlife and not necessarily us.

So yesterday (3rd Sept) whilst clearing the potato tops ready for lifting, not just one but many frogs leaping around.  This shot just captures that nice balance between us taking out a crop and wildlife living along side us.

If only the rest of agriculture could be like this!  Oh, and the potatoes are brilliant, look no sprays!
