Sunny has tried in vain to knock it down....but its held up nicely! .... phew!
The veg is looking good. we have frozen some curl kale ready for winter, hung the garlic, and will do the same to the onions when they are ready, Strawberries are over now, although we do have one or two hanging on!
Onions are swelling nicely, wont be long before we are drying them out, and we have been and will continue to harvest peas for a while!
You just cant beat your own home grown veg!
The birds seem happy enough, they are scratching and pecking in the garden and havnt escaped or even tried to, apart from Ruffles that is,but then she likes to be awkward!
Mollie the cat has been a little worried though, she sat on the table in the garden and was suddenly surrounded by birds...bless her, she look scared, but also had that look as if to say "all these birds and not one small enough for me to kill!"
We do, however, have a glut of eggs, so i have put tons in the freezer for winter, also been baking and putting that in the freezer too, hopefully, a lot of all this will carry us through the winter this year! There are only so many things you can make with eggs.... and i am rapidly running out of ideas!!
But the poly tunnel has been a great success this year! we have melons, sweetcorn, tomatoes, chillies, cucumber, fennel bulbs, lots of herbs, gogi berries and grapes to name but a few!
So you can guess we are as pleased as punch with it....pity the poly tunnel is not bigger though.
Other than that i have been crafting like mad, in order to get some pennies in! I am making flower peg faeries galore:
And a fair few cards! Here are just some of them:
and hoping to sell my things at the Fetterangus craft fayre this sunday so fingers crossed.
Other than that theres not much to tell this week....i may be late with next weeks blog as my sister in law to be is comming to stay for a week with her partner and their four year old! so it will be a busy week i hope!
