We’ve only been picking what we need to eat every day, so today as we have Emma here helping we’re having a harvesting and preserving day. Here’s what we picked:
So we’ve got a lot of ratatouille to make and tomatoes to bottle today.
Matt also harvested 3 frames from the beehives, giving us over 4 kilos of delicious raw honey!
thats brilliant
Another two jars from the solar extractor since then! Think we probably got 5 or 6 kilos in total! And this is just a by-product of keeping bees – Matt’s very insistent (and I agree with him) that we don’t keep bees for honey, but primarily to look after them and for pollination – if we get honey it’s a bonus, and this was a big bonus
lovely colour on the photo food looks great
