The shop is open today from 3pm–7pm, so pop by and stock up on some fresh veg, or treat yourself to a bunch of flowers.

We’ve had a few funny-shaped tomatoes appearing in the harvest this week… 🍅👃 The more character the better in my mind! They might not all be perfectly round, but they certainly make us smile.

Plenty of lovely seasonal produce in the shop today — come and see what’s been harvested. 🥕🥒🌿

Fresh from the field! 🥕✨

Harvesting some beautiful outdoor carrots today, and I'm really pleased with how they've turned out.

These were sown back in April as our middle carrot succession, with two beds planted to bridge the gap between our early polytunnel crop and the main field crop later in the season. They've actually been ready for a few weeks, but I've been trying to finish harvesting the tunnel carrots first so I could clear and replant those beds before moving onto the outdoor crop.

I may have been caught snacking while harvesting... and I can confirm they're tasting just as good as they look—sweet, crunchy and full of flavour!

These carrots have lovely fresh green tops too, so don't let them go to waste. They're perfect for making carrot top pesto, adding to soup or using to flavour homemade stock.

🥕 If you need a carrot fix, the farm shop is open tomorrow (Saturday) from 11am–3pm. We'd love to see you!

Although it's still summer, it definitely feels like the seasons are beginning to shift here at Muchalls Kailyard.

As soon as the last carrots came out of one of the polytunnels, the bed was replanted with endive and chicory for our autumn and winter salad mix. These beautifully bitter leaves thrive as the weather cools, keeping fresh salads on the menu long after summer crops have finished.

Outside, parts of the market garden almost look like spring again. Everywhere a summer crop has finished, there's a freshly planted or newly sown bed taking its place. On a small, intensive market garden every inch counts, so beds rarely stay empty for long!

One of today's jobs was clearing the broad beans. I always enjoy seeing the roots covered in little nitrogen-fixing nodules. When they're actively fixing nitrogen, the nodules are pink inside thanks to leghemoglobin, a pigment that helps the bacteria convert nitrogen from the air into a form the plants can use. It's one of the reasons legumes are such a valuable crop in the rotation, helping to build soil fertility for the crops that follow.

We've also been direct sowing radish, turnips, spinach, rocket, a whole range of salad leaves, plus herbs including coriander and dill. Meanwhile, the propagation tunnel is filling up with trays of young plants. Giving them a head start under cover means they won't need planting out for another 3–4 weeks, allowing the current crops to keep producing for a little longer before the beds are replanted.

Some gardeners call this time of year the "second spring", and it's easy to see why. It's always fascinating to look across the garden and see mature summer crops nearing the end of their season sitting alongside tiny seedlings of quick growing crops that will fill the gaps and provide fresh harvests throughout autumn and into winter. 🌱🍂

🍅 A walk through the tomato jungle... 🌿

Today's job was pruning the tomatoes and other tunnel crops, and it's definitely feeling more like a jungle in there now! The plants are towering overhead, with long trusses hanging heavy with tomatoes, and more fruits ripening every day.

If you're in need of a tomato fix, we've got plenty in the farm shop! 🍅

📍 Open every Tuesday 3pm–7pm and Saturday 11am–3pm.

🥕 Happy Sunday! 🥕

Meet the final carrot crew from our polytunnel... we thought these funky carrots deserved some faces! 😄

These are the some of last carrots harvested from the polytunnel before we switch over to the outdoor crop. It's always a little milestone, marking the changing of the seasons on the farm.

I always enjoy discovering the odd wonky carrot that brings a smile to my face. They might not be perfectly straight or all the same size and shape like supermarket carrots, but they're full of character, personality... and taste just as delicious! 🧡🥕

🌿 Farm Shop Open Today! 🌿

We're open today (Saturday) from 11am–3pm, so pop by to stock up on fresh organic vegetables or treat yourself (or someone special) to a beautiful bunch of locally grown flowers. 💐🥕

This week also marks three months since opening our farm shop! 🎉 We can't quite believe how quickly the time has gone. We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last three months by choosing to buy local, seasonal and organically grown produce.

Today, 1st August, is Lammas, the traditional festival celebrating the first fruits of the harvest. Historically, people would give thanks for the season's abundance by offering flowers and the first loaf of bread made from the new grain. It feels like a fitting day to pause, appreciate the harvest and say thank you to everyone who helps make it possible. 🌾

🥗 Mixed salad
🥒 Courgettes
🫛 French beans
🥒 Cucumbers
🫘 Broad beans
🌿 Chard
🥬 Kale

🌱 The Farm Shop is Open! 🌱

📍 Tuesday | 3–7pm

It's been a day of two halves! This morning I was out harvesting in double waterproofs and a jumper, and by lunchtime I'd swapped to a T-shirt, wondering if I should have put on sunscreen instead! ☔☀️ That's a Scottish summer for you.

We've been busy harvesting plenty of fresh, seasonal vegetables, so why not drop in and stock up?

Available today: Mixed salad, tomatoes, carrots, beetroot, courgettes, cucumbers, French beans, broad beans, cabbage, calabrese, cauliflower, kale, chard, kohlrabi, parsley, basil, dill, potatoes, onions, garlic, purple plums and aubergines.

We look forward to seeing you this afternoon at Muchalls Kailyard! 🥕🥬🍅

🌱 Planting the next succession!

A little video of planting out our next batch of lettuces and spring onions. We plant lettuce nearly every week throughout the growing season to keep a continuous supply coming for our salad bags 🥬.

These beds had been home to turnips and kohlrabi, with the last of the crop harvested and cleared the day before. We gave the bed a quick broadfork to loosen the soil, and some overnight rain left it lovely and soft — perfect for planting by hand and making this a nice quick and easy job!

One crop out, the next one straight in! 🌱

A few garden friends from this week…

We’ve had a very sweet juvenile robin following us around the garden recently — usually just one bed over, having a nosy at what we’re up to or scratching around in the freshly cleared beds looking for something tasty!

I also came across this rather lovely toad hanging out by the compost heap. Always nice to be reminded that we share the garden with so many other creatures, all making a home amongst the crops and wilder corners.
