July 18th – I’m embarrassed to admit this, but I saw this relatively small crop near Lynn in Raikes Lane, and am at bit at a loss as to what it is. It looks a bit like cabbage, but isn’t leafy enough. Clearly not beet, or mangles, not tall enough. Can anyone put me out of my misery, please? Whatever it is, it’s surely in rude health…
May 31st – It’s not just the barley and potatoes coming on in the fields now, this field of wheat in Lynn, near Stonnall, is looking fine after the recent rains. I doubt it will be long now before an early harvest.
May 16th – another popular crop this year seems to be potatoes. A few weeks ago, I photographed this field belonging to Home Farm at Sandhills, freshly ploughed with Brownhills Church in clear view. The church is still visible, but the neat rows of spuds will soon be growing tall. I love the way the regimented green tramlines highlight the undulating contour of the field.
May 16th – with the fine, early spring the showery weather has spurred all the local crops on. This field of Barley near Lynn, Stonnall seems very well advanced for the time of year. There seems to be lots of barley this year – prices must be good.
