secrets on a slope: Allotment Visit 3
http://secretsonaslope.blogspot.com/2011/11/allotment-visit-3.html
Secrets on a slope. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Today was a nice day down on the allotment as I got to meet some of the others who have been gardening there for years. It took me almost as long to clear the little patch behind the cleared one as it was jam packed full of grass and thistles. A new cold frame was added too. Just need some garlic now. Cold frame ready for some garlic. Weed clearing in failing light. Pond to be removed. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Secrets on a slope. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. Currently sizzling on the hob. We grow good onions. Don't know how - but they like us and we like them. Especially in a little butter. We've been so busy with work and the baby that the garden is looking a little neglected. But we've a long holiday coming up - so it is high time we dusted down the spade and got back to it!

Secrets on a slope. Tuesday, July 05, 2011. Bilberries are early this year. I have been keeping my eye on them and they are one sunny spell from sweet perfection. Anyhow. today I decided to pick some leaves and make some tea. One tray of leaves at 75°C (electric fan oven) for hour. One heaped teaspoon steeped for 5 minutes. A surprisingly good taste!

Secrets on a slope. Sunday, April 24, 2011. I took the ginger biscuit recipe, took out the ginger and went all butter. The results are great.

secrets on a slope: June 2010
http://secretsonaslope.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Secrets on a slope. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. In the spirit of. Making the best of what we've got' I decided to do a little research about our soil to nip a developing soil-envy in the bud! Visiting family in the south I was so impressed by the beautiful soil they have (and take for granted). It is crumbly, brown, soft and everything seems to grow so well (including the weeds - ha ha! It seems to be everything that soil should be. So what is good about it? Wednesday, June 16, 2010. Thursday, June 10, 2010.

Secrets on a slope. Monday, September 20, 2010. I visited a tree tonight that I have had my eye on for a while. Got everything I could without a ladder whilst in the dark. I now have around 5lb of crab apples. what to do with them? On flickr. If I can get some tasty hawthorn berries then I might go for this recipe. I feel this weekend will involve some serious jar sterilisation. Monday, September 20, 2010. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. I recently looked for a few extra spools that hold thread under the ...

http://secretsonaslope.blogspot.com/2011/05/wild-mushroom-dinner.html
Secrets on a slope. Monday, May 09, 2011. On Sunday I ended up at a Farmers' Market and bought the scrag end of the mushroom sellers wares on the cheap. Cooked slowly in some butter and a drop of oil. Finally a dash of the milk top for some creamy sauce. Served on a couple of slices of pan toasted spelt and honey bread. Monday, May 09, 2011.
