It's also the official first day of summer and it coincided with us finally having a garden ready for harvesting a lovely full basket of fresh produce.
I had promised myself last year to leave the potatoes alone until Christmas or when they had flowered and died back...but, I spotted a lone potato scratched up by the chickens and I really couldn't bring that up on it's own so dug around under the soil to find enough for a meal.
The basket was also full of peas, a few baby carrots, a head of lettuce, a broccoli (not in picture), a couple of eggs and a beetroot. We added these to the sausage* that Nathan chose and sheep's feta that we were given at the local market on Saturday as well as asparagus and avocado from our vege box delivery. The kids had the broccoli, carrots and peas while Simon and I had a salad.
* (I did cut it up to cook which is apparently the way to cook a Cumberland Sausage).

Hi
It's a good feeling aye when you dish up a meal you have helped produce.
Sausage looks fun!
Enjoy decorating your home for Christmas - it will be here before you blink.
I bet the kids will be really counting down now - hope you have an advent calendar for them.
Love Leanne
Wow Nikki - that's an impressively bountiful looking basket!!!
That basket looks amazing. Good for you.
Oh yum - that basket of goodies looks great!
Great time of year eh - finally we get to enjoy the 'fruits' (vegetables!) of our labour.
