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...

I feel a strawberry glut coming on very soon and I'm not complaining, the jam cupboard is running low and you can't beat homemade strawberry and elderflower jam! I took my special little basket up the allotment on Sunday to harvest some strawberries for puddin...

The Final Decision

Little Village Life

1 month ago by Katie

I am rather lucky to live in a village which is surrounded by beautiful countryside and I like to take full advantage of it. I cannot think of anything better to do then cycle down country lanes with the sun on my face, the wind in my hair, and cows staring at...

Yesterday afternoon was spent in my favourite place with another long list of jobs to do. Not that I'm complaining at all, I do love this time of year and I'm pleased to say I picked my first proper harvest of the year. I carried home a lovely little basket fi...

Busy Little Bee

It's June and I can't believe we are halfway through the year already! It was another busy weekend but I managed to spend most of Saturday in my favourite place getting all those little jobs done. There were a few things that desperately need planting out incl...

Open Day

2 months ago by Katie

Recently I've been asked by a few people if they could come and visit my allotment, to have a little tour of the plot and to chat and drink tea. So I've been toying with the idea of having a Lavender and Leeks open day and simply wondered if it would be a good...

Foraging in the Village

11 months ago by Katie

A homemade bee hotel has been on my to-do list for quite a while now, I was originally going to make one out of bamboo canes and then create a little wooden frame to put them inside. However, the inspirational world of social media has given me a much better i...
