At last we have some fantastic weather. After what seems like non-stop rain for the whole of last week we had a fantastic sunny weekend and this week too seems to be going well.
Its been enough to finally get the veggies into action with our long suffering tomatoes turning from green to red after hanging around for a few months waiting for some sun to ripen them up.
We have had our first berry crop this week so some may have berries in the boxes others will get them in the next week or two.
We've been enjoying cooking outside mostly and had the best leg of lamb I have ever tasted last night. B slow cooking it on an open fire, spiked with garlic and some of our berries and then dowsed with all manner of lotions (mushroom ketchup, soy sauce, brown sauce) we ate this with fresh new potatoes boiled in a wok(?) and salad from the garden with a home made mustard.
The lamb was the same as went in the boxes last week and had the benefit of a weeks hanging in the chiller as the rest but then we hung it for a further week to really bring out the flavour, it was fantastic.
The puppies are up and about now, they are wanting our constant attention. First to be let out, then to be let back in, then back out. They just can't seem to decide where is more fun! Attacking laces and trouser legs seems to be the order of the day. We have earmarked half with new owners but still have five to go. Do tell your friends...if they don't go soon B will start hatching plans to keep them all, which will destroy my plans for another terrier.
We also managed to get out and do some much needed leafleting in our local areas, we have been neglecting the new business side of things whilst setting up the farm but now things are coming out of the soil rather than just going in all the time, we can concentrate on getting some more lovely customers. We've added a lot more products to the website in the hope that we can help people find the good organic things they need and make it more convenient to get them. Although adding excellent Italian wines was an expensive idea with us drinking to selling at a 6:1 ratio!

We also had a reminder of how obsessed we've become with the box scheme when last night George climbed into a box and started telling us he wanted to be delivered...so if theres any interest......
