  1. The less appealing, smaller apples were kept apart and eventually used for a little bit of marmalade. It's my first time trying, hence the small quantity, and I am not too pleased with how chunky it came out. I will look for another recipe or feedback on how to get it more smooth.

  6. My bush experiments. I rescued these three from various horrible places inside rusty fences I was removing and/or choked with Virginia creeper. Planted them here to see what happens.

    They looked pretty dead for a while, but two out of three are alive and produced new leaves and twigs. One gooseberry and one rosehip.

    Particularly happy about the rosehip surviving. Makes nice filling for Krapfen. Or winter bird food. The fruit stays on the bush long after frost and snow.

    The other half of the gooseberry bush was completely dead and I dug out the roots, which were rotten. Two out of three ain't bad though.

    Edit: Can't remember my berries.

  11. Some more firewood, this time without the rain.

    My new sawing/splitting area is much nicer than the muddy ditch I had it in before :)

    The garden cart is great by the way, very happy with it. I've hauled it heaped with wet soil and it managed that, although I could barely pull it.

  16. Rainy day. Sun came out for a few minutes so I thought yay, let's do some stuff.

    Result: Bunch of things got wet and I spent more time hiding from heavy downpours than working. Managed to cut and stack one meagre sawhorse worth of firewood 😫

  21. Been browsing old photos to remind myself when I planted the garlic last year (mid October).

    Always seems like there is too little progress on the homestead until you look at old photos and go "huh, last year it still looked like this."

    This is the same potato field exactly one year ago. An overgrown goat pen full of thorny fuckers, 2m tall weeds and an ingrown fence.

    Now it has yielded a basement full of potatoes, a bunch of huge beetroots and some still growing pumpkins. Guess there was some progress after all. :blobcatgoogly:
