There’s a crispness in the air here at Hen Corner.

There’s a crispness in the air here at Hen Corner. The mornings are misty, the hens are taking their time to come out of the coop, and then go to bed early, and the garden is starting to go quiet. But don’t be fooled – autumn is one of the most beautiful and rewarding seasons on our little urban smallholding. It’s a time of gathering in and of letting go. We harvest the last of what the summer has given us, tuck the soil up for winter and plant in faith for next year.

Did you know that it takes around 12 honeybees a lifetime each to make 1tsp honey?
Let’s celebrate them now in October!
🍯 The honey is off the hive
🐝 The bees are hunkering down for winter
And we can celebrate the wonderful hard work of our little bees.
Here at Hen Corner, we’ve had the biggest honey harvest ever this year and have enjoyed teaching 147 individuals on our bee keeping courses on top of the 9 schools visits that reached many, many more…
Thanks little ‘uns #ComeOnYouBees

Our latest post on The Chiswick Calendar – Sara Wa

Our latest post on The Chiswick Calendar – Sara Ward on Living the Good Life:
'There was some consternation in our house at the weekend when we were given quinces from a friend’s allotment. What to do with them? How to cook them? How even to cut them without slicing your fingers off (they’re really hard!). It turns out they’re very nice poached in apple juice with a baked ham.

For Sara Ward at Hen Corner, quinces are the final harvest of the year. She reckons they need cooking with sugar. They do have a considerably sharper in flavour than their orchard cousins apples and pears.'

This is my evening planned out….
13.25kg of quince from my 6 year old tree on the allotment.
@the_pam_the_jam I’ve got you by my side all the way…
I’m thinking jelly, jam, membrillo and cordial.
I’ve still got plenty of quince gin left from last year 🍸

Let’s Talk Ivy…
Clinging, climbing, creeping… ivy certainly knows how to make itself at home! It scrambles up walls, wraps itself around tree trunks and, left to its own devices, it can get a bit too much. I know the temptation this time of year – grab the secateurs and pull the lot down. But please, don’t cut it yet – wait a little longer!
Here at Hen Corner we’re big fans of ivy, and I’ve got three very good reasons for you. Read more in our latest blog post (via link in bio)

Now is the time to save seeds and save money!
Parsnips left to flower look so beautiful and the dried flower heads yield loads of seeds for next year.
Parsnips can be fickle to germinate, but with this amount of seeds, I can sow more than I need and thin out to give them good space to grow.
