Latest knits and lots of chutney :)

These two are the latest knits and we’re still carrying on with the purple and green theme it seems.

Both knitted in 100% alpaca and modelled by the sisters with a secret 😉

In the polytunnel the tomatoes are ripening as fast as I can roast them and make chutney with them.

I have a ripening production line going in the conservatory.

You can never have too many empty, clean jam jars.

Meanwhile, we’re picking other bits here and there.

The corn is helping by ripening one cob at a time so I can keep pace with them. I’m freezing a bag of podded haricot beans every day and thankfully the courgettes have eased off, finally. The thornless blackberry bush I planted a couple of years ago has been wonderfully productive this year. It’s still small but has produced a large punnet every day for the last two weeks.  We’re all a bit ‘crumbled’ out now since we have lots of apples too. I’m having to invest in another freezer this week. I’ve run out of space now and I would make and store so much more if I had one..

Last week, following Monty’s advice, we sowed turnip seeds and this afternoon Joe and I planted 5o baby onions and a few more leeks.

and now we’re podding beans and pretending they’re magic  🙂

Hope you’re enjoying the same sunny weather where you are 🙂 x
