My pickled garlic has turned blue!
Imagine my surprise when I went to the fridge to get my jar of pickled garlic, only to discover many of the cloves had turned a very interesting shade of blue/green. I admit my first thought was ‘botulism’, so I had a quick look on the interwebzone to see if this stuff was still edible…

I’ve been camping quite a lot over the years although not recently. Not long after we met, my husband and I went wild camping and in total spent a wonderful couple of weeks living on various beaches on the West coast of Scotland. And I loved it. I can honestly say, going to sleep with…

Growing Asparagus from Seed!
Trying something new this year – asparagus from seed. I’ve never grown asparagus before and I have been considering it for a few years but didn’t want to fork out a small fortune for a few crowns (one site I looked at currently wants £9.99 for ONE crown). Then by chance I spotted a little…

Productivity has sprung with Spring!
Oh what a busy week this has been, but in a good way. With Spring comes foraging – ok, I foraged in the allotment and got enough nettles for the first batch of nettle soup this year. It’s packed with all the vitamins and minerals we need after a very long winter. It was paired…

The New Me
Some bits wobble some bits wibble some bits move more than they should. Some bits shoogle (look it up on Google), don’t ask where – that would be rude! Some hair grey, some turned white, how’d that happen overnight? Some bits ache for goodness sake, hard to bend and get upright. But contented I do…

Carrot sowing with a difference!
I told you the other day I had exciting carrot news to share with you, (weird thing to be saying I know), using a system of sowing which is totally new to me. If you remember, in a previous post, I showed how I used kitchen roll which I had dampened and sprinkled the carrot…

We had a very productive plot visit today which I am delighted about! Last time I showed you the last bay we were working on and I still had some weeding left to do in one corner. Today, not only did I manage to get the weeding finished…..hold onto your hats…..we got more manure and…

How do you measure success?
As we go about our daily lives we will encounter obstacles, achieve goals and frustratingly make little progress in other areas. Some days it seems like we’ve been going round in circles getting nowhere and other days there is nothing we can’t accomplish. But how do you measure success? As a home-schooling mum, some days…

Garden Plan part 2 and more seed sowing
It finally happened, we finally got some sunshine and although there is housework to be done, I looked at Scooby and said, “let’s go to the garden”. It was time to make a start on ‘the’ project. I’ll be honest. I spent a lot of time getting all the spare poles and bits out and…
