Kitten

Words cannot describe how cute kitten is. This is the first picture of him before he found his new mummy.



...... and there is no doubt who his mummy is as they have bonded so well!

Shallotts

This is the first time I have grown shallotts. The first batch had died down so I decided to clear the lot to make room for some more sowing.

This is what we started with, after using some for cooking, Katy taking her supply, I made six jars of pickled onions.


After last years unsatisfactory use of pickling vinigar, this year I decided to economise with ordinary malt vinigar and pickling spice. A fraction of the cost and I am sure they will be just as tasty.

Watch out for results in a few months time when we have the first tasting.
