Home Produce.

This weekend was very wet and put me down in the dumps, not wanting to do anything.

So I didn't.

Through I did start some strawberry wine, with Genie's help.  I had just enough strawbs for a gallon, and just enough enthusiasm to take photos for a video (watch this space).

The dish on the left contains wild strawberries - a freebie from the garden!

Genie and I went for a walk to check out our local allotments.  They put us to shame. I console myself that our garden is convalescing, and not up to full production yet, though I know this is a little conceit.

The shed still looks at me dolefully.  It's no good having big shed fantasies if I don't do something about it - I must have a proper go at estimating cost and finalising plans.

This evening (Tuesday), tackled last year's frozen blackcurrants, and made about 8 lbs.  Again, video to follow.

A dramatic Pot-shot.

Oh dear oh dear!

It was windy, but not that windy.

I must have bought an indoor greencupboard by mistake.  Fortunately I have four cheapo-balsa-frame-repair-brackets and some glue.

Will it blow off again? No chance - with four little brackets it weighs twice as much!

Frostproofing

The weatherman says there's an air frost on the way.  So now, the St Paul's Cathedral Bean Wigwam is wrapped, along with the onions and salad seelings. Also the blackcurrant bushes, which are in flower.  This has used three windbreakers, two builders rubble bags, two parasols, a table cover, a dozen hoops made from water pipe, and a large tarpaulin.

Bring it on, Frosty.

(It had better be cold.)
