Also forgot to say, I harvested another carrot. This time it was about maybe 10cm long. Tasty.
The mouse in a nut arrived. It's shit. Will give it to charity. Someone might love it?
And there's an actual massive shit that's appeared on our decking. Photos to follow.

The good life (crop 'til you drop)
Today I lived off the land. I gathered some of the hundreds of apples from our garden (and pinched a few of the juicier ones hanging over from next door). Then I went to mums and picked a load of blackberries to add to the ones I discovered growing over our shed roof. I accidentally destroyed a massive spiders' web in the process but the spider survived unscathed. I said sorry. I think he accepted my apology.
After a quick nip to the shops to buy some other non-garden-growing materials, I made a Gary Rhodes crumble. It was a triumph!
Tomorrow I am going to try baking an apple cake to make use of all the windfall before it starts rotting. Honestly, I feel like applauding myself!

In a nutshell
Realised what has been missing from my life - a mouse in a nut. Don't worry, I've now rectified the situation with this beauty. Sam thinks it's a waste of money. Impossible. It only cost 99p!

What's new?
I've been reading a friends blog and it's really good. Lots of exciting things happen and there are loads of lovely pictures. It made me sad for this blog, as I generally have absolutely nothing of any interest to report on. Actually, make that never. What'd be good right now is if I could say "Well hey, things are about to change. Buckle up and get ready for a classic!" Unfortunately I just have some gardening business for you...
Growing carrots. Kind of.
Sadly this is the carrot I grew. I had it with my dinner. It didn't last long. But even though it was only two bites, it was still the best thing on my plate.
