The garden is going so fantastic. I just can't believe how well everything is doing! I'm making a salad for tea tonight (to have with the fresh scnapper from last night). The salad will be gourmet lettuce and rocket and baby spinach leaves, spring onion, radish and tomato - all from our garden! Oh! and the chives on the baked potato will be from the garden too! How mouthwatering does all that sound?!
I've got a very busy couple of days ahead......... I have to get a bed ready for the 40 corn seedlings that I raised. It's a lot of corn but I want to get heaps of kernels in the freezer. We have 4kg of peas in there that we grew and harvested ourselves, I want to do same again with corn. I've also got a lot of spinach growing too. I priced it the other day at Woolies. $3.50 for 500g of frozen spinach portions, Can't wait to get mine in the freezer and add up how much worth it is.
Also on the SELF SUFFICIENCY side of things........ Home Brew Rocks! I have a brew of Corona going at the moment, and I have a Blonde and a Crown to put down as well. Also, I've been making my own fruit juice wine. I did the first batch as the instructions told me to, but now I'm experimenting. I made some apple and cranberry champagne and everybody is going nuts for it. I can't keep up! Have also made some apple cider with honey and cloves in it (haven't tried that one yet) and apple and blackcurrent wine with a star annise in it (haven't tried that one yet iether). I have 2 Christmas shows to go to this weekend, so all flavours will be getting a go.
Anyway, this isn't getting the gardening done, is it? Want to do a bit of fertilizing before the wind picks up too much. Oh well, better get cracking hey. Seeya
