Winter mode
9 June 2022
We are now officially into Winter and things have slowed down growing. The temperature is all over the place though - some days are fire days and others are T shirt days (no wonder some of the poor plants are confused ) The drought is well and truly broken much to the trees relief.
Steve has been doing losts of prunning and build a mulch mountain for us to use in the gardens. Our son Peter visited and spent a couple of days feeding the mulcher and generally lending a helping hand while he was here :-)
We are slowly building the range of flavoured salts and other dried products as well as introducing a few new sauces. Taste testers are always welcome.
