Just a quick update from the garden. It’s amazing how much it’s come on in the two months since we really set to work. Particularly the crops that we didn’t plant until we moved in, for example everything in the pumpkin patch (every single plant in the image above), the runner beans, potatoes, beetroot and parsnips, to name but a few.

Much to the kids’ excitement we’ve recently started harvesting our blueberries (potted plants we brought with us). Our potatoes have started dying back too, so the kids can get their hands dirty harvesting them soon (probably their favourite garden job). The novelty of daily courgettes still hasn’t worn off, neither for adults nor children. We’ve had ‘courgetti’ (courgettes made into a spaghetti substitute by a gadget known as a ‘spiralizer’), for dinner for three of the last four days. It’s a new family favourite.

Anyway, without further ado, I present to you our latest image slider. Please take a minute or two to look over our photos, all taken in the last week or so. See for yourself the fruits of our hard graft over the last two months here at Slightly Self-Sufficient HQ. We hope you are as impressed as we are!
