Ok, here it is!

The new Crone at Wit's End

Hoping to see you all on the new site and that you like what the amazing Shell from Little Hero Hosting has done for me. I know that I love it!

Thank you Shell, Mwah!

I'm calm, I really am!

You know how you pile up all your garden scraps and kitchen waste waiting to do your proper compost heap? How you diligently save all your newspaper (and your neighbours) for the day when you have all the right ingredients to get the mix just right!


Then you go outside full of joy to start building "The Compost Heap"


Only to find that The Husband has piled it up high with wild cooch and grass seeds!

I hate my little ponies!

Firstly they are plastic!

Secondly I trod on the blasted plastic hairbrush and the spikes lodged in the sole of my foot! One of the Tots needed to take the hairbrush to the bathroom apparently. Lot's of rude words.

Which brings me to the point of this post.

It is Tot 2's 4th birthday today and I am so pleased with our choice of present; A wooden doll house. All of the Tots love it and there isn't a scrap of plastic in or around it. We will be making more choices like this in the future.

Now for some pic's from yesterday's harvest;

A few broad beans and some sticks of kale

Some of my potatoes (drying them off before storing them)

Just to let you all know

The Crone at Wit's End will be moving very soon!

A lovely friend who owns Little Hero Hosting and Little Hero Designs is setting up a new site for me! She is working on making it all shiny and spiffy.

I'm very very excited!

Nothing earth shattering today

Just a list of my harvest (pic to follow tonight when the Teen is in a good mood)

1kg peas
1/2 kg scotch kale
handful of springonion tops
1kg broad beans
large colander of spinach
about a bunch of celery.

All of this made;

Wasabi potato cakes (last nights wasabi mash with an egg, spring onions and a handful of polenta mixed in)

Spinach and Pumpkin lasagna (used up the last of the roast pumpkin) to be frozen as an emergency meal

Broad beans, spinach and tofu in a silken sauce (The Husband's work at home lunch)

Celery and firm tofu stir fried for The Husband's dinner (he's cooking this one)

Peas shelled into a bowl which were supposed to be frozen for later but the Tots snacked on them LOL

My garden is so productive and we are eating organic, local and feeling wonderful!

A wonderful start to the week

I've lost 2kg's
Made some black bean dip, turkish carrot dip, tomatoes sliced and in the solar oven to make sundried tomatoes.
Application sent in for the solar hot water system and solar panels!

I wish blogger had dancing happy icons because man, I am positively dancing on air right now!

Sharing :)

I am starting to get the the point where I have always wanted to be, being able to share my surplus.

Today I have put on offer locally my surplus collard greens, kale and onion seedlings.

I have also just picked a kilo of snow peas, and a bag of lettuce. I need to pick a heap of mustard greens but really don't know what to do with them LOL!
