Many people don’t have the confidence to grow or forage food, and to prepare it to keep.
Everyone has the skills.
Now, more than ever, let’s build the confidence.
The first round of chillies 🌶️ dehydrating this week.
These are ‘sort of’ variety “patio fire”. I say sort of, as I always grow again from dehydrated seed, and have been doing for a lot of years - so these aren’t really a named variety anymore.
Huge quantities left for sauces!
Daily harvest! Glad I planted multiple varieties, and whilst it’s been an effort to keep on top of the feed and watering it’s richly rewarded.
Had these simply with olive oil, a few basil leaves and salt as a side dish. ❤️
Riddle me this. Two packs of the same stuff. 1650ml achieves a claimed 50 washes. So the larger 101 washes should be just over 3300ml. And yet it’s 3131ml.
Does Ariel liquid know that when it’s put in a bigger pack it has to be more efficient? Or just a rip off…
The grape vine has done me proud again; this year back to doing more juice (some of which I’ll freeze).
It really is as simple as harvest, wash, warm press, strain, chill and drink! 🍇
I’m sorry, but it’s mushroom season!
Boletus edulis, the penny bun or porcini, in absolute abundance! Some drying, some made into the most luxurious soup!
I knew it would be a good season for mushrooms!
Agaricus campestris, picked just now - closely related to the ordinary mushrooms in the shops, but a superior delicate taste and of course free!

I am going to ask Grok that trend question, and I am deeply concerned (or maybe flattered) it might reference certain famous sitcom involving two couples in a suburb of South London which I won’t mention as I don’t want to influence it too much.
Hey @grok - based on my tweets, which TV comedy character or series do you think I most closely resemble?
It’s been an amazing year for the wild plums - best I can think of.
To preserve, at least for a while, those summer flavours I’ve done a chillie🌶️ and plum sauce.

may I suggest instead of taking allotments away at huge loss to a large number of people that the same area could be nibbled off golf clubs to the detriment of far fewer folk
