....Solstice blessings to everyone who follows us here, hope you have all had a productive year and achieved at least some of your goals....we've made good progress here again over the last few months, despite some setbacks and crop failures....looking ahead to next year, we have already got kale, chard, onions, lettuce and garlic in the polytunnel and will be planting out in a few weeks time....
Hoping everyone is prepared for a good Yule and festive season, and that you all get some quality time with family and friends....may the coming Winter be kind to you all and the Spring beyond be fruitful....

Thanx again for following our homestead journey.

Bloody Pirate, Red Crimson
and Family.

....if you don't have fresh home made bread on Christmas Eve, what are you even doing with your life?....

💚

....still the best advice I got....

🥃🔥🥃

....and a very beautiful morning it is....

....which turned into a very beautiful afternoon....

Sixty years of producing standardized fruit and vegetables and creating industrial hybrids have had a dramatic impact on their nutritional content.

....this is why we grow our own food, and I would encourage everyone to grow some of their own too....

Wishing you all a Happy New Year, and hope that 2025 will be a good and productive year....

Thanks again for following.
