What have done towards your prep?

[harryhotspur]

Walked into the brew shed to make the sloe gin …only to discover I had already made it ! Been shaking the bottle ever since , I can now remember doing it ! What a muppet ! But there you go .

The small poly tunnel is doing great everything has come good ! The potatoes have now keeled over and will be ready for Christmas , the salad leaves are ready to pick , the onions have a bit to go yet as well as the turnips , garlic will be a while , the carrots will be a good while yet and the best bit is no heat was used up till now ! .

The big poly tunnel was cleared and to last of the tomatoes have been processed in the dehydrator along with the last of the chillies …….the sil has plans for this poly tunnel but has not sent me the memo yet ? …..but hey there you go …..must be a top secret mission ! .

The chickens are laying around 24/28 eggs per week , the bees are doing fine and have been treated so all is well at the moment .

Firewood processing has come to a full stop due to all the rain and wind , but I will get to it when I can it’s not important right now ! .

Been buying some gear so I can carry on with some projects in the workshop …….there are only so many Welsh cakes , corned beef pasties , chicken pies , minced beef pies , and bread a guy can help bake …..to the point of wild child ordering me out of the kitchen ……in fact insisting that the workshop was calling on me ! Yes it’s fair to say her pain barrier has fallen of a cliff !

We continue to maintain our food preps and find spaces to store it ! Along with other preps as we see a need for stuff that we might need as time go's by .

The truck had new belts and water pump fitted ……the guy said they had been already done …..but done them anyway …..at least I have piece of mind now .

Sloe Gin is best if you wait for the first Frost, I'm sure I don't need to tell you to remove the sloes before they start giving off cyanide (6 months) so I hope you haven't left them since last year.
