The bounty from the main hugelbed..

Grapes, Tomato’s, peppers, corn, potatos, fall radishes, pea’s and many more, all wonderful and exciting to see them coming into the house but without a doubt the biggest treat at the moment is our amazing hugelbeet grown melons.. Watermelon, Catalope and honeydew are growing along side some of the most amazing tomato plants on the farm at the moment.. The flavour is outstanding!
