Year of the Peach
Tuesday, September 13th, 2011Many things distinguish this year, but I think on balance it will have to go down as the Year of the Peach.
Here are a few, along with a few butternut squash, from this morning’s harvest.

Ripeness
Friday, July 9th, 2010Can’t help but wax lyrical about this, but we’re really enjoying the experience of eating juicy warm sun-ripened fruit fresh off our own trees and bushes. There’s a vast difference between the vibrancy in a fresh ripe plum or peach that’s reached the peak of perfection while still being very much alive and attached to the tree, and the teetering-on-the-brink-of-decay ripeness (if you’re lucky enough to get it to ripen before it goes mouldy) of fruit purchased in your average supermarket.

The posts that got away … No 1. Peaches
Sunday, July 5th, 2009With all the intensity of work on the yurt platform in suspension now that we’re back in Scotland, there’s time to catch up on a handful of posts that there was neither time nor battery power to make while we were there.
First off, our first peaches! Harvested from a small tree on the bottom terrace.
