We've been so busy planting, harvesting, watering, weeding & preserving that my blog has been neglected so here's a quick catch up in pictures.
caterpillar control, I never realised that shield bugs like to munch caterpillars.
My 2 hens are in moult but they are such good girls that I'm still averaging 9/10 eggs a week.
The allotment has also kept me in flowers through the summer.
Runner bean, mango,coconut & Indian spice
Sweet & sour cucumber pickle, Rhubarb & curry chutney, Rhubarb & ginger jam.
Greengage jam, not grown by me but a bargain find.
Bread & butter sandwich pickle

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous blog this is, I am now following it so I will pop back often. Your photo's are lovely and you are such a busy person, what with the allotment and all your crafts. I think we have a lot in common as I also crochet and love cooking. I do envy you your chickens, I would love to keep some but can't commit to the time they need.
ReplyDeleteYour allotment produce is looking wonderful, colourful in fact. Iadmire all your homemade preserves.
ReplyDeleteI envy that you have your own eggs too, I'd liek to get some chicks of my own one-day when I get the space.
