Can you guess what it is yet?
We're busy getting the next issue ready - all made that little bit more frantic because of our deadline being brought forward due to the Easter bank holidays. Here John Butterworth is inspecting his collection of scrap wood for his next project in next month's issue - making a potting bench/work bench.
We've also got lots of foraging treats, features on growing salads and growing your own kitchen veg boxes, running a farmhouse B&B, product reviews fresh from the Edible Garden Show, unique summer salads from LizzieB, free plants for every reader, and a chance to win £750 worth of WoodBlocX for your veg garden in our great competition.

Is this the smallest egg in the world?
Laid by one of the editor's own chickens just yesterday, we are wondering if this is perhaps a record breaker. We have had a number of 'fairy,' 'wind' or 'fart' eggs over the last couple of weeks, but have never, ever seen one quite this small. The left egg is 'normal size', the middle egg is a more usual 'fairy egg' size, but the wee little fellow on the right measures barely 10 mm from top to bottom. We do realise this is probably indicative of a problem, so has anyone any ideas how we can help our poor hen get back to normal laying?
