£2,000 worth of garlic grown in less than 80m², plus a years supply for our household.
That's all of my garlic sold out for another year! The postman picked up all the parcels this morning, so if you've ordered some seed garlic, expect it within the next week or so.
Thank you so much for all the orders, big and small!

Hello! My name's Danny, the face behind Lawsons Market Garden, and this is my dog Dodge. I want to say a big thank you to all of you for following along with my journey here on Facebook and Instagram. Recently reaching the milestones of 60k and 20k on each platform. Every like, comment, and share helping me to reach a larger audience is very much appreciated.

I spent around 10 years working full time, mostly in retail, before taking the plunge into self employment. Now, almost another 10 years down the line, I'm a market gardener, basket maker, and teacher.

I've always been driven to achieve my goals of self sufficiency, doing what I felt was right for not only me, but for the planet we live on too.

As I walk through my gardens, surrounded by all the abundance, it feels like a dream come true. So if you're just starting out, or currently working towards your dreams, stick at it! The hard work pays off.

Such a great weekend with this lot. My first two day workshop teaching some slightly more advanced techniques. One lady even came all the way from Glasgow! Definitely my furthest traveled student.
James had been eyeing up the reverse zigzag double french rand at the two previous workshops he had attended so we decided to tackle it on Sunday; and everyone learnt a 5 behind 1 follow-on border, which was awesome!
My next two day workshop is on May 24th&25th. Email me if you'd like to attend.

Oil tank screen for my sister. This project ate up the last of my green willow from the market garden. Really enjoyed weaving this and happy with the result.
My brother-in-law made the frame so all I had to do was weave. Threading the willow through the uprights at the top was a challenge, especially as the uprights were secured sideways, but I figured it out.
I'd love to take on more projects like this in winter.

x8 10m beds all topped up with fresh compost and pathways woodchipped ready for garlic planting this week.
4 rows in a 75cm wide bed, hoping to fit around 1,200-1,500 cloves in this space. They'll all be mulched with straw and netted with micro mesh over my cloche frames.
Who else is getting ready to plant their garlic?

That's all the pumpkins and winter squash from this year's pumpkin patch trial harvested and graded. Ready for sale throughout October.
Planted into unprepared pasture, straight through w**d suppressing membrane. No feed, no irrigation.
This space will become a new willow bed once I've harvested and sorted the basketry cuttings in December.
Send me a message if you'd like some of this seasonal bounty.

My second willow backpack, do you know a fanatical forager who could fill it?
I've gotta admit, I got a little carried away with the size of this one, but I really enjoyed the shape it was taking and the curvy form.

7 hours of crafting went into this willow backpack.
The oval frame for the base was first set into the jig in March earlier this year, then woven last week. This week I scallomed the uprights and wove the sides before attaching the custom made olive green canvas straps with antique brass buckles and rivets. The strap is secured using whittled pieces of apricot wood from the garden.
Ready for those sessions.

Some stills of yesterday's basket. My first time using this scalloming technique to attach uprights to a base.
I started preparing the base earlier this year by wrapping a large piece of willow around an oval jig and securing it with reusable cable ties. It was then left to dry for several months so that it would hold its shape.
Scalloming involves cutting partially into the willow, and drawing the knife down through the centre of the rod, tapering off towards the end. These lengths are then slotted through the base and secured by wrapping around the base framework and back around themselves.
I have another base prepared that will hopefully become my first attempt at a backpack next week 🙌🙌🙌
