We have been extremely busy in the garden having had some wonderful rain - we had to then deal with the beastly weeds - hopefully that is now under control - ish. The blackcurrants are ripe and the calabrese is ready along with a plentiful supply of spinach and chard. I had a picking of white turnips the other night and threw them in with some roasted peppers - quite delicious. Alnwick market is really picking up lots of lovely customers buying our fresh vegetables. Its wonderful to think that they are picked and eaten within a 20 mile radius - talk about a good carbon footprint!!!!!!! Still watering hard and feeding those tomatoes. Peppers are coming whoppee!! In the winds the diasaster was that Meg the scarecrow has fallen apart so we now only have a set of legs to frighten the birds!!

We were at the Otterburn Festival last weekend and we are at Heham Farmers Market on Saturday and Glendale Food Festival on Sunday - busy busy!!
