Veg plot 2020: Third pick of winter salads
Wandering through the veggie plot during the week I’d seen the salads in the greenhouse and didn’t think there’d be much to pick this weekend, so I was quite surprised by the number of leaves available when I went to … Continue reading
Once again it’s apple-pressing day
I posted a month back that we’d collected apples for pressing, but until today we’d not actually got around to doing the hard work. I estimated that we had 250kg to 300kg of apples ready to be pressed and today … Continue reading

When I went for a stroll around the garden at lunchtime I noticed some panes of glass missing from the end of the greenhouse. Closer inspection suggests that the wind must have flexed the frame of the greenhouse sufficiently to … Continue reading
Veg plot 2021: Composting beds again
After I ran out of light yesterday I’d not quite finished with the beds I was spreading compost on. Last night the forecast was for rain all day today, but this morning it was all change (quelle surprise!) with only … Continue reading
