This week, we got to enjoy some of our produce!
On Wednesday we stank out the shed making garlic bread baquettes and wrapped them in foil.
Here, you can see them in the staff room oven the next day
Miss swallow set the table in the shed for lunch and we had lentil and vegetable soup with the garlic bread.
Connorhan and Mr MacFarlane arrived just in time to join us!
Just like last year, there was nothing left once we had finished. We also sprinkled some poppy seeds on the bread - straight from the flower border.
Rob arrived after lunch to do some more jobs in the garden. Here you can see the willow seat that is now finished. This year's growth has been woven into the structure to thicken it and we have put weed barrier on the soil and lengths of timber to sit on.Meanwhile, we have a busy few weeks ahead of us as lots of staff are wanting to buy our produce!
(We sold the lettuce and carrots left over from last week)
Ah! You remind me to make up a big vat of lentil soup to put up in the freezer. It's been one of my favourites since I was a lad and my mother made it up. I make mine quite thick, mostly because I like it best that way, but also because it's a sight easier to thin it than to thicken it.
ReplyDeleteNice, that you've managed to sell the extra lettuce and carrots ... a bit of income (for more seeds, I dare say), and it avoids the difficulty of having all these things come in at once, as they must, and leaving you with 'way too much of something that is, after all, rather perishable.
