I managed another couple of hours at the plot this morning. Armed with my trusty strimmer, I tackled some overgrown areas (there were lots to choose from). As usual, some patches proved particularly stubborn, with thick weeds and nettles that required the extra muscle of my pruning shears! It’s hard work, but I can see the progress already!
It feels amazing to see the plot coming back to life. I was thrilled to find my fruit bushes in the undergrowth and so much fruit I have been frantically searching for recipes. There’s no way I can let it all go to waste! Check out the red and black currants!
I’ve found a red currant and red onion relish on BBC Food that I think I’ll try, and blackcurrant cordial doesn’t sound too tricky, either. I’ll let you know how they go!
The dwarf apple tree I thought was doomed is also teeming with fruit!
May be things aren’t quite as bad as I thought!
