Two years ago our wellie wearing family moved to the rolling wet hills of Mid Wales. We decided to grow our own fruit and veg, keep bees, poultry and build our own furniture with little or no experience.



This is our journey to the good life.

Veg Baby!!!

Finally got around to taking a look at our veg patch tonight. It's a bit weedy so we'll have to find time tomorrow to get stuck into a big tidy up.

Lots of our squashes are ripening up too. Far too many. Tonight we've even cut out quite a few of the plants because even after our bumper haul there are so many of the things still maturing on the (far too many) plants that we put in it's getting silly. At least having trimmed them we can now walk around our raised beds again (just). Let's hope that we like eating the things.

 Also we've pulled up some of our fennel to try, some celeriac and picked a kilo of blackberries as well. An evening stroll around our garden has turned into a two hour harvest fest.

Tomorrow - got to weed the veg patch, get up our potatoes and all of our MASSIVE garlics!!!!!!!!!
