As the season comes to the end we are savouring our last delights. We had office grown super sweet yellow tomatoes for a delicious lunch today.

It's nearly time to put the ShutterPatches back to sleep for Winter, we have had a great season and tried out lots of new exciting crop in lots more locations across London. 

Thanks to anyone who has helped our green and verdant friends out by giving them a water or a careful prune.

The Desktop ShutterPatch makes a return

Remember this little guy isn't edible! He does however give you a daily reminder about urban waste stream awareness and a prompt to visit your nearest resident full-scale ShutterPatch for some tasty edible goodies.

A flowering, abundant and plentiful ShutterPatch has greeted August. Our tomatoes are on the turn and the beans are ready to be picked. 

It's nearly time to call in the harvest! Do you fancy some tasty, fragrant oregano for your sunshine dishes or some mint for your summer cocktails, please help yourself to what we have on offer at WC1X 9NG.

Ready Steady Cook!

It is still too early for us to cast our vote, green pepper, green tomato doesn't quite have the same ring to it!

However..... we want you to let us know what you would make, what summer flavours you are enjoying, what plants are doing well and what other edibles you would like to see in and around London!

This can be one of the most exciting times of year for food growers, it's the time where you start to see the fruits of your labour. 

Our ShutterPatch which we planted back in early spring has exploded, flowering and fruiting with vigour. It's about time to get the recipe books out!  Let us know your growing stories, recipes etc. we would would love to hear them! [email protected]

Behind the ShutterPatch is a great team, perhaps even a 'family'.

We enjoyed welcoming Queen's Park visitors in to see the making and manufacturing of the ShutterPatch. For more photos visit: https://flic.kr/s/aHsjKP4egS

Yesterday we brought sustainable flavour to Queen's Park, London. 

The ShutterPatch is joining with the park to reconsider unused urban vertical spaces and facilitate fresh and fun community interaction.  We are giving local organisations the opportunity to join with us in delivering good, green food to the community. Great fun was had by all and we look forward to keeping in touch with some of those enthusiastic and charming local residents.
