Lots of creatures big and small are always visiting me in the garden. Today I saw some monarch butterflies, admiral butterflies, heard tree frogs and bell birds, saw a tail-less skink and this wee lady. I think she is a nursery web spider. A good siz

This pumpkin is from last year's harvest and over a year old! Amazing that is has kept so long and in such good condition. What other vegetable keeps for over a year without being in a fridge still as good as the day it was picked. I'm making a pie w

Preserving season is almost upon us... As the apples start so does the fruit leather.. I make mixed flavours for kids snacks. No added sugar. Just fruit puree dehydrated. Make a thick fruit pulp, blitz then spread onto silicon trays and dehydrate. It

Some of you may remember a while ago I posted a layered compost heap made from weeds... Well this is the result.. pumpkins have gone mental! Waiting to see what forms in this late strange season were having... Bit so far looking promising. Turning we
