It’s colourful-meal-time! No colour enhancement necessary for Salad Blue potatoes (they’re actually a maincrop). Fabulous looking and great flavour. The one Salad Blue plant that we pulled provided enough potatoes for several meals and there are still a few little ones left. These veggies were fried in chilli oil and included garlic so was totally delicious thoughContinue reading “Superstition”

The Last Film
Our new trug – thanks Joanne Today we’re hoping to have another drone video filmed over the site by Colin. Thank goodness the wind has died down from the blustery days we’ve just had, would be nice if the sun shone a bit too. This is the film he produced 8 years ago, in April 2014.Continue reading “The Last Film”
In A Moment
Hands up who else was flagging like this yesterday! “When leaves show their undersides, be very sure rain betides” says the Farmer’s Almanac. Well, the rain reached Swindon but missed Hungerford, so I think it was wishful thinking for the beans, or perhaps they wanted us to do some more watering. Watering just isn’t the sameContinue reading “In A Moment”

I have more than a week off work – Yippee! And the weather is good – Hooray! Actually the weather has been beautiful continuously since my last post. The photo above was from last Sunday when the clouds put on a marvellous display throughout the day. And look at these beauties. We spent most ofContinue reading “I’m Free”
First of the Year

Stupid weather doesn’t know what month it is! I like this photo of a mallow flower on the wildlife plot, with its ownContinue reading “First of the Year”
Sweet Harmony
Shared from my primary blog: https://plot7marshlane.blogspot.com/ What a month June has been. In the last week we’ve had beautiful blue skies and high temperatures (~30° on Friday) but night-time temperatures still fell to 3.4°! And now we’ve finally had some welcome rain. What a great growing-month. So happy to have teasels on the wildlife plotContinue reading “Sweet Harmony”
Wildlife on the Plot
I’m sticking with Blogger for the timebeing, but thought I’d share my latest post here too. https://plot7marshlane.blogspot.com/2022/02/all-these-things-that-ive-done.html Mostly because of the wildlife video, with such a cute grey squirrel!

I’m still on Blogger
If you’ve stumbled across this you’ll be thinking “well, that’s not much of a blog”. It’s because I still haven’t made the move from Blogger to WordPress. I’m still contemplating… If you actually want to see what’s happening on Plot7 in Hungerford then please do visit and say hello. https://plot7marshlane.blogspot.com/ The question is, should IContinue reading “I’m still on Blogger”
Recipe: Celeriac, apple and chestnut soup
Originally posted on the secret spatula:
A warming and flavoursome soup, perfect for blustery winter days. It’s a joyful celebration of the season’s bounty – the creamy earthiness of the chestnuts is a good foil to the celeriac’s crisp taste and the apple’s perky sweetness. The recipe below is vegan, but if you like, serving it with…
