A Local Adventure

2 months ago by Katie

Charles was off carting straw this afternoon so I made my own plans to go explore a local garden called Dyffryn Fernant. I picked up a leaflet a while back and made a mental note to go and visit when I had some spare time, seeing as I had a few hours on my own...

Rhubarb Gin and Rhubarb Cordial

3 months ago by Katie

It's no secret that I love Rhubarb, a love that has been passed down from my Dad and his parents too. However, we haven't had much luck growing any rhubarb this year due to my Dad moving his 5 crowns and mine are still too young to be picking from yet. Therefo...

Pick Your Own Farm Family Fun

3 months ago by Katie

The first time we ventured into Pickwell Farm in Southampton was back in October, the entire family came down to pick some pumpkins because we had failed to grow any on the allotment last year and we had the most enjoyable time. Since then it's safe to say tha...

How to Make Nettle Fertiliser

3 months ago by Katie

Stinging nettles are literally everywhere at the moment and even though they have such a bad reputation they can be used for so many good things. Not only can you cook with nettles to make delicious dishes but they can be used to make natural fertiliser feed t...

Wild Garlic Butter

5 months ago by Katie

As you all know by previous posts I managed to find a beautiful little spot down on the farm with an abundance of wild garlic growing. As a complete garlic lover I was so excited to have found it and for the past two years I've been heading down there with a w...

The First Salad Harvest

5 months ago by Katie

About a month ago some little tomato and lettuce seedlings came on the 4 hour journey with me in my car on one of my many visits to Wales. I planted them up in the greenhouse, watered them in and left them in the supervision of Charles and his Mum. There's 3 '...

Wild Garlic Season

6 months ago by Katie

I'm back on the farm in Wales after what seems like ages and I'm so happy to be back with my two favourites. I'm making the most of my week here as I won't be back again for another 2 months due to selling at 5 shows in a row soon! Whilst Charles was b...

The Welsh Greenhouse

7 months ago by Katie

Well hasn't the sunshine been glorious this past weekend? After a complete and utter wash out with constant rain from Wednesday through to Friday we were blessed with blue skies and some beautiful Spring time weather, perfect for some gardening. It's one of th...

An Autumnal Walk

12 months ago by Katie

Today has been beautiful, the skies have been blue, the trees are changing colour and even though it's getting a bit colder I decided to venture out for a walk around the farm whilst Charles was busy in the shed. It takes roughly 20 minutes to walk to the f...

Happy Halloween

12 months ago by Katie

Like I've said in a previous post, this was my first Halloween since owning my allotment that I haven't had a homegrown pumpkin and it felt a little bit odd. It was soon rectified by a visit to a local pick your own farm with the family and I chose my own litt...

Blackberry Picking

1 year ago by Katie

It's that time of year again when the days start to get a little cooler, the leaves start to fall and the hedgerows are full of foraging goodness. Everything is a tad early this year and the farm in Wales has plenty of blackberries for picking. I decided to go...

Welsh Rhubarb

1 year ago by Katie

It looks like the rhubarb season is still underway and there is plenty growing here in Wales down on the farm. I've been telling Charles about the Rhubarb crumble cake for ages now so it only seemed right to make him one. So off I headed to the rhubarb patch j...
