So far we have -

Strawberry wine.
Blackcurrant wine.
Elderberry wine.
Blackberry wine.

Also 40 pints of velvet stout and 40 pints of winter warmer.

How long do you have to wait for the wine - IIRC you've been doing this a while?

I'll take a bottle of the blackcurrant.

I planted my spring onions a bit late. Might have to consruct some sort of artificial growing environment.

Well that's the last of our tomatoes for this year, plants are now on the bio degrading pile and the ketchup is in the pantry.

I think we'll get enough chillis to make an extra batch of chilli chutney and then that's us done for this year.

Good crop of apples this year. I'll likely use about 1% for my own cooking and the rest will go to waste, can't give these things away.

Apple Brandy.

You've got whining down to a fine art. Must be the practice.

Were they all midgets or were some of them giants?

Some of them were standing further away

Child labour, innit

Apple growers face grim harvest with worst yield for 15 years

I must admit, 1 apple tree in our garden has had a good crop and that's why I feel duty-bound to make the most of it.

I've even managed a bottle or 2 of apple vodka.

This year is a disaster for bless 'em all's self sufficiency in jams and chutneys.

No apples on any of the trees in the garden, nor any plums from either tree. The tomatoes didn't even get to green before the plants died.

Back to Crosse & Blackwell for the next year.

Our apple tree almost empty.

Rented cheery tree we only got 8kg - we saw some with different varities leaving with 10 cherries!

Get yourself a beehive or two.

(Though this year you would have been feeding them. )

Would be interested in a norrahe approved ketchup recipe?
