Swiss Chard Quiche

2 weeks ago by Katie

I don't know if I've told you before... but I LOVE swiss chard! It just so happens to be my all time favourite thing to grow and it tastes pretty amazing too. Funnily enough I had never even heard of it before growing it back in 2013, the supermarkets don't te...

The Elderflower Hunt!

2 weeks ago by Katie

It's official... I have been so behind and just plain rubbish at foraging this year! What with being so busy these past couple of months and July creeping up on me, I just haven't had any time to do anything. Last year I was over run with elderflower cordial a...

Summer is finally here and with it comes the start of the allotment glut! The harvests are starting to come in thick and fast now and it feels so good being able to pick your own flowers, fruits and vegetables for the first time this growing year. You really c...

Leek and Potato Soup

4 months ago by Katie

I've not always been a lover of leeks but ever since I've been growing my own I have created a new obssession, now I just can't get enough of them! Last year after I had harvested my potatoes in August there was a large empty gap of soil, so off I went to the ...

Winter is starting to set in now and the temperatures are dipping ever so slightly (it's been an ever so mild Winter so far hasn't it?!) The frosty mornings and cold weather does mean one thing though, and that is soup! I am a little addicted to making soup...
